3 comments on “Jason Levinthal & 4FRNT’s New Ownership Group (Ep.114)”

  1. I was already optimistic last week when the sale of 4FRNT was announced. Listening to the backstory of these guys , their relationship with skiing and how they’re keeping on a bunch of people (Jlev temporarily , Hoji , Thayne , etc) pretty much cemented in my mind that they will do a solid job with the brand moving forward.

    BTW , cant wait to get me hands on the new Raven Tourlock! It’s gonna be a good season!

  2. Great interview and sounds like the (mostly new) 4frnt crew is great – passionate, but also focused on maintaining a sustainable business for the longhaul.
    The Raven tourlock (to replace my old great regular Ravens) is next on my list… Unless you guys put out a throwback EHP Pilsner! Do a limited run, all pre-ordered, can show up next year. Great nod to the early Hoji days. And still such an awesome ski. Come on!
