What 4FRNT says about the MSP 99
“Confidence Inspiring, Speed Defying
The re-engineered MSP 99 returns for its second season to take our most award-winning ski to new heights! In its first season, Ski Magazine, Outside Magazine, and Blister awarded the re-engineered 99 at the top of the All Mountain category. We took the 99’s award-winning DNA, updated the core composition and fine tuned the skis performance for quicker turn initiation and even more energy. This provides the skier with even more control and power in any condition the resort tosses at you! The MSP 99 inspires you to elevate your skills, giving you confidence to ski your best every day at the hill.”
