OAKDEN JOINS 4FRNT: Ryan Oakden finds his team
4FRNT skis recently announced that big mountain skier Ryan Oakden has joined the 4FRNT team. Oakden made the switch from long time ski sponsor, Rossignol.
“Having Ryan on our products starting this season further enforces our commitment to support the new generation of big mountain skiers,” said Matt Sterbenz, founder and team manager for 4FRNT. “Ryan has been a pioneer in the sport, combining freestyle with his big mountain skills—something for which a lot of us have looked up to him for. He’s been a good friend of ours in the past and now to have him as part of the 4FRNT family is only going to make everyone on the team ski harder and stronger.”
“I am so excited to get at it this season as part of the 4FRNT family,” said Oakden. “This company and the skiers involved are world-class. Our sport is growing fast and companies like 4FRNT are out there leading the way. My goal in life has been to have fun in skiing and now that I have full support from a great team and company there is nothing but good times ahead.”
Oakden joins fellow Canadian powerhouses Eric Hjorleifson of Alberta and Vincent Dorion of Quebec on the 4FRNT team, which also includes Matt Sterbenz, Steele Spence, Vincent Dorion and Niklas Karlström. Oakden is featured in Teton Gravity Research’s film, The Tangerine Dream. Hjorleifson leads off Matchstick Productions’ The Hit List and Dorion appears in Poor Boyz Productions’ WAR.
