Features

The Faction Prodigy 1 is the ultimate freestyle ski for all freestyle enthusiasts. Utilising Faction's award-winning elliptical sidecut design and a full strength sidewall for top-notch edge hold. The 88 mm width underfoot allows for precise handling in the park and on-piste and the ski's has a poplar and ash wood core ensuring it’s ultra strong to withstand heavy stomps. The anti-chip micro-cap construction in the tip and tail plus XL 2.5mm edges ensures the ski is built to last.

Poplar/Ash Core
Poplar is a light, durable softwood known for its flex, pop, and excellent vibration absorption. Ash, a heavier hardwood, adds stiffness and durability. Together as a duo, they offer great hold on hard snow, a solid base for landings, and enough pop and flex for creative maneuvers.

Recycled Materials
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.

Locally Sourced Materials
To reduce the impact of the production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close the factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact.

Sustainable Wood Cores
The poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near the European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.

XL 2.5mm Edges
A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. The skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.

Full Strength Sidewall
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.

Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radii in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.

Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.

Mustache Flex
The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and 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 the factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain
