Product Info
The Faction Prodigy 1.0 Skis are a park ski with all-mountain comfortability. Designed for the modern freestyle skier who spends just as much time lacing hot laps through the park as they do jibbing natural features on the rest of the mountain, these skis have a super poppy and responsive poplar/beech wood core that keeps things super light so you can turn those 5s into 7s like it ain't no thang! Nimble, playful, and built to last with fully capped tip/tail construction, the Faction Prodigy 1.0 Skis will queue you up to be just that -- a prodigy!
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 305mm rocker in the tip, 2mm camber underfoot, and 300mm rocker in the tail.
Flex
Stiff Flex – 7/10 - Designed to provide bite and stability in steep terrain and variable snow.
Sidecut
Dual-Radius Sidecut – Borrowed from world cup race skis, two different radii on the one ski - a tighter radius forward of the boot center coupled with a 20% larger sidecut behind - lets Faction increase the edge-to-edge responsiveness so you can carve short turns whilst retaining high speed stability and control through the tail of the ski.
Transition Zones – Between the rocker, sidecut, and camber results in a fluid, easy to pivot and nimble ski.
Core
Poplar/Beech Core – A Poplar/Beech core is light, grips great on hard snow and feels snapping between turns, while always maintain a soft enough flex to pop, slash and butter all over the mountain.
Sidewalls
Cap Tip & Tail – Sidewall construction underfoot keeps the ski poppy and lively. Full cap construction in the tip and tail doesn't require sidewalls, reducing swing weight and adding durability.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
Park & Pipe Park and pipe skis, often called freestyle skis, are for skiers who spend the majority of their time on jumps, rails, and jibs of all kinds. Traditionally park and pipe skis have narrower waists with full camber profiles, but this category is incorporating more rocker patterns and different shapes. You will almost always find these skis with twin tips as well as other park specific features like thicker, more durable edges, dense extruded bases, and butter zones. All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level:

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/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius:

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- Core/Laminates: Wood

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
