Eric Hjorleifson is the best there is.

Hoji skis the biggest lines at impressive speeds with ease. He is fluid and technical. There is nothing he can't do on a pair of skis.

The 27 year old has been in a ton of major ski flicks since 2005. But Eric is more than just a skier. He is a designer and builder. As part owner of 4FRNT Skis out of Salt Lake City, Eric designed the popular EHP and the uber popular Renegade. Both skis will the change the way you ski powder.

The Renegade is hand-built by Eric himself. In fact, Eric signs each core right before it goes into the press. These skis are a work of art.

The Canmore, Alberta native doesn't just ski for cameras. He spends much of his winter earning his turns in the backcountry.

Eric is also a super down-to-earth guy who I had the pleasure to share a chairlift with last winter. We chatted about the day and our skis. Just like you would with any other skier.

For those of you who don't believe me or disagree with me, I present exhibit A and B.





Enough said.
