I tell people I'm a skier and the skiers inner voice is singing; O'boy, to put on a pair of skiis now would be sweet!!! But ok, patience is a virtue, right? Soon all the ideas will be put in to action and the fun caos of organizing street sesions and bc days is all over us again. For those of you already in swing, I envy you. Not long now. Thanks for reading my frustration. Erik
Greetings from the White Room. Another chapter in the Renegade Saga is complete and we're nearing the end. This whole journey has been such an incredible experience! Don’t get me wrong, it’s been a ton of work but also a ton of fun and very rewarding. With the main part of production finally finished, it was time to make another journey down to Revolution to have the skis cut and ground. Trying to recreate the Cody face when the last pair left the press. One thing that the world loves is an intern. Their willingness to do anything and be at your personal disposal make them useful assets in the work place (if you don’t have one, it is like not having a red Swingline stapler, you might as well burn the place down). The fact that most of the time they are willing to work for free makes them worth every penny. We borrowed an intern’s truck and loaded it up with 168 pairs of skis for their final journey as conjoined twins. An additional 33 pairs trailed in the 4FRNT Magnum Wagon. Interns… Will they ever learn? As with any afternoon, a drive in a major metropolitan area with 168 pairs of skis in the back can get a little shaky and is a bit of a white knuckle experience. It at least kept the “low ridah” (nickname for the S-10 because of the weight) at low speeds, which meant no one got a free pair of Renegades to the face at 65 mph. Damn, that’s a lot of skis! As soon as we got there, Chuck and his staff at Revolution were there to help unload and we rallied the skis out of the back of the truck and the Magnum. Well, the intern and the Revolution staff did while Cody Barnhill made sure that we had a solid count of the Renegades. That was the fun part (think jagged fiberglass-infused resin embedded in the forearms) and all skis were accounted for. A few Renegades that have been already cut, just waiting to get finished... With that part done, it is now time to let Revolution do their thang while we switch gears and finish getting the store dialed for the grand reopening on September 22nd. If you’re in SLC, swing by around 5pm for a bbq and rider signing before the Level 1/ 4BI9 premiers. Oh by the way, if you have a pair on order already, rest assured that they will be shipping early October. If you have not preordered yet, you can do it here. Don't wait as there are only a handful of pairs left. Till next time readers, keep the stoke up and pray for snow! Thanks for tuning in.

I just got back from my trip to New Zealand I was there for 3 and a half weeks. It was an amazing trip. While i was there i competed in the Junior Worlds and got second in slopestyle and almost got second in pipe. Unfortunately the weather was bad and they could not send the last girl for her second run in pipe. Making none of the girls second runs count, which had me seated comfortably in second place. But they did not end up counting it and i had fallen on my first run. I was not too disappointed though because i did well in slope. Also because overall Just being in New Zealand was great. The landscape is so beautiful you wake up and its great every where you look. But anyways for now I am just chillin at home and working maybe gonna do a bit of water ramping to learn some new stuff for the upcoming season. Keltie ps i attached some photos of my trip
I fished a bit and caught one fish that got off my line... I got a good look at her before she bailed on me and I'm confident it was my biggest yet this summer... and that's not saying much given my novice expierence and mediocre fish caught... hahaha. Oh well... Cliff Jumping is always a good time. I think Taj was thinking about going for a jump.. Taj finds refuge by the fire.... Danger Zone...
Me and my friend Aaron hiked 10 miles in from the road system on Kodiak to go skiing thursday. It was pretty fun. We have a float plane lined up for tomorrow. If the weather permits, we are flying to a lake at the base of Mt. Glotoff, the second highest peak on the island. There is still 2-3000 vertical feet of snow out there! Here's a couple photos from Thursday (not 1/13/1970).

taken from www.yleski.com So on Wednesday Kevin Perin, myself, Vinnie Mauro, Luke Perin, and Ahment Dadali decided to hit up one of the wasatch’s premier rides… despite many flat tires and a lack of water, the ride was epic. Looking forward to a rebate. We decided to pay Rocker Gap a visit… looks pretty crazy dry. Shaken not stirred… Luke, Wiley, Kevin, Vinnie Rest Stop… Desolation Lake Ahmet on the shred… The longest tire repair ever…

As the summer months drag on we have been spending countless hours in the White Room, cranking out Hoji's Renegades. Prepped and ready for the winter to start, production is going full board and all the skis are looking sick. Hoji and Barny, hard at work. Soon enough the snow will be falling and the Renegades will be hitting stores and slopes near you, so hopefully you're one of the fortunate souls who remembered to pre-order your pair. If you have yet to order yours, what are you waiting for? Until next time, thanks again for checking in here at The White Room!
The summer months are finally coming to the end and here in the White Room we have been busy getting ready for the winter. I personally spend my summer dreaming about powder and how stoked I’ll be once its winter again, but if the summer never happened we would keep skiing and the Renegades would never be built. That being said, we’re working hard through the heat to get these skis built and ready to rip this coming season. Here he is: the man, the myth, the legend- Eric Hjorleifson. Eric has spent years coming up with his design for the Renegade, and trust me when I say it shows in the quality of the product. The Renegades will take the skiing world by storm this season and with the limited number pressed its safe to say they wont sit on the shelves forever, so make sure you get yours before they’re all gone. Also leading the 4FRNT squad is Cody Barnhill. While Matt and Hoji were at camp, Cody stayed here in Salt Lake to run production of the White Room, prepping materials, making sure everything was ordered and shipped on time, and telling the interns what to do. Needless to say, Cody Barnhill has helped make this dream a reality, and to that I say cheers! Until next time keep your stoke levels high, remember its only a few months till old man winter returns!

Just starting out down here at the 4FRNT HQ in SLC. Good time, with a lot of hard work ahead of us... Spent the past 2 days planning and prepping the edges, we have cut each individual edge to length and bend by hand. One less cut to go. 1100! Cody and I thinking hard about how much work we get to do, HaHahahah!!! Where do we start and how are we supposed to build anything with no batteries... Well tomorrow we will start the bending bender, can anyone say carpal tunnel! I'll try to keep you posted on our progress. Cheers, Eric
