Skis comparison — 2013-2014 season
How they compare
Both skis are designed for all mountain riding. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The 4frnt CODY has a hybrid (rocker/camber) profile (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile), while the 4frnt Grom Kids uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). The 4frnt CODY targets advanced riders while the 4frnt Grom Kids is aimed at intermediate riders. At $75.9 vs $114.95 MSRP, the 4frnt Grom Kids is the more budget-friendly option.

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
Older 4FRNT freeride ski — catalog seasons stop in the early 2010s, so used supply is scarce and usually well-worn. Inspect cores, edges, and sidewall separation carefully. Do not pay modern freeride prices for a Cody just because the name still gets searched.
