4frnt CODY vs 4frnt Switchblade
Skis comparison — 2013-2014 season
How they compare
the 4frnt CODY leans more all mountain, while the 4frnt Switchblade leans more freestyle / park. 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 Switchblade uses camber (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise). At $114.95 vs $499.99 MSRP, the 4frnt CODY is the more budget-friendly option.

What to inspect and what not to confuse when buying used. Not on-snow reviews.
4frnt CODY
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.
