When most of your skiing is done on firm snow, or if you tend to spend more time in the park than anywhere else, there’s no reason to go wide. Get the Faction Prodigy 1 Skis and join the legions of satisfied park and pipe wizards who’ve mastered their craft on this ski and won’t look anywhere else. Built for the long haul with a burly Poplar and Ash wood core, Microcap sidewalls and XL 2.5mm edges to keep stompin’ when others fail.
POPLAR/ASH CORE
Poplar is a durable softwood that flexes and has great vibration absorption capabilities. Ash is a heavier, stiff and durable hardwood. This duo provides excellent hold on hard snow, a solid base for stomping landings and enough pop.
RECYCLED MATERIALS
We are working with our production partners to eliminate material waste. We now mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality & durability.
LOCALLY SOURCED MATERIALS
In an effort to reduce the impact of our supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based near our factories.
SUSTAINABLE WOOD CORES
Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.
XL 2.5MM EDGES
The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
FULL STRENGTH SIDEWALL
A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the woodcore and edges.
ELLIPTICAL SIDECUT
Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, the shorter radius result in easier turn initiation.
ANTI-CHIP MICRO-CAP
Micro-cap is a hybrid of premium sandwich sidewall fused with durable lightweight cap construction. Provides strong edge hold, torsional stability, and protects joint prone to chipping.
MUSTACHE FLEX
Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to provide solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps. This flex allows for progression and for an easier turn initiation and finish.
HIGH RESISTANCE TOPSHEET
We use the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain
