Product Info
Looking for a light and nimble pow ski that gives you the flexibility to tour for turns when you feel the need? The 4FRNT Kye 120 Skis cover all that and more. With a new and 15% lighter Poplar + Paulownia wood core and edge-less tip, the Kye 120 floats like a demon and responds instantly to subtle directional changes, whether you're a turn traditionalist or all about nose butters and switch landings. For 2017, the Kye 120 sports new NW native-inspired graphics that look equally good on either foot.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Camber with Rocker – Camber underfoot and rocker at either end gives you the best of both worlds.
Shape
Tapered Tip and Tail
Core
Pop Core – A premium combination of Poplar and Paulownia make up this lightweight alternative to heavier hardwoods.
Laminates
VibeVeil™ – Vibration drastically reduces confidence. The VibeVeil elastic membrane situated in the tips of 4FRNT rockered skis dramatically reduces chatter and weak edge hold, the result of extended negative radius profiles in ski tips when used in varied to firm snow conditions. All skis featuring VibeVeil have a transparent window logo highlighting the very material used in each ski.
Sidewalls
Semi-Cap Construction – Cap construction in combination with an ABS sidewall underfoot provides the best in durability and performance. Carbon stringers featured in Raven and Renegade only.
Base
Sintered HD Base – Great glide for all ski conditions.
Graphics
Reversible Graphics – Like a reversible jacket, the skis look great no matter which foot you put them on.
Artist – Devin Soisson
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Big Mountain, Powder, Alpine Touring

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Ability Level:

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius:
Long

Turning Radius
Long > 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
