4frnt Devastator vs 4frnt Raven
Skis comparison — 2016-2017 season
How they compare
Both target all mountain terrain, while the 4frnt Devastator leans more freeride. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. Both feature rocker profiles — lifted contact points for easier turn initiation, float in soft snow, and a catch-free feel.

4frnt Devastator
Older 4FRNT freeride ski — catalog seasons stop in the mid-2010s, so used pairs are leftover-only and usually well-worn. Inspect cores, edges, and sidewall separation carefully. Do not pay modern freeride prices for a Devastator just because the name still gets searched.
