Product Info
The deepest days and the rowdiest lines call for special tools, the the Faction Studio 4 Skis are the droids you seek. Ultra wide at 122mm in the waist, with huge rocker at both tips and tails, Faction builds this one from a core of lightweight Poplar wood and adds a Carbon Weave laminate plus a new Carbon Rubber Stomp Pad for times when the landing isn't really as soft as it looks.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker-Camber-Rocker – Tip Rocker: 176 = 400mm, 184 = 420mm, 190 = 435mm | Camber: All Sizes = 0mm | Tail Rocker: 176 = 365mm, 184 = 380mm, 190 = 392mm
Flex
Flex Rating – 8 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
Core
Lightweight Poplar Wood Core
Laminates
Full Carbon Weave – Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.
Carbon Rubber Stomp Pad – For extra absorption on those huge hits.
Sidewalls
Full Strength Sidewall – A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet.
Base
Sintered UHMW Base
Edges
XL 2.5mm Edges – Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction's standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Big Mountain, Powder

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Flat/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Flat/Rocker Rocker/Flat/Rocker is a variation on the rocker theme that seeks to provide a little more hard snow edgehold and pop than full rocker while retaining ease of turning and float. Performance is between a fully rockered ski and a rocker/camber/rocker ski.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
