4FRNT becomes North American distributor for ROXA ski boots

[Press Release] SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – As the temps fall and skiers begin their hunt for the upcoming season’s harvest, 4FRNT has advanced its hard goods focus into ski boots and as result, will immediately integrate the Italian boot line, ROXA, for North American distribution.

The 22-year-old Italian boot maker, in collaboration with Pietro, debuted the ROXA brand to North America at the SIA tradeshow in Denver, 2011. The ROXA brand realized its potential in the North American market for its signature 3-piece shell design as result of the orders received after two introductory years with zero marketing.

When arriving to the final agreement with Pietro in Montreal this past week, Matt Sterbenz, founder of 4FRNT, stated: “Being in Montreal and viewing the IF3 films while also meeting and finalizing the ROXA deal with Pietro has been a great exercise for me in realizing how our sports equipment is adapting and ultimately, performing. To support the radical demand of today’s freeskier comes the responsibility of the industry to deliver a product, which encompasses the athlete’s direct influence. As skiers, we realize boots are critically important and so while our heart will always be in developing ski shapes, the opportunities ahead for us to participate in the advancement of boot technology from a freeskiing perspective is an opportunity we are collectively psyched to pursue.”
