Faction Skis
The Ultimate All-Mountain Freestyle Weapon
The Faction Prodigy 2 is the most versatile member of the Prodigy family, designed to be the only ski you need for every condition the mountain throws at you. For the 2026 season, this cult favorite continues to set the standard for "fun" in an all-mountain package. Featuring a Poplar wood core, the ski is poppy and playful enough to butter through the park, yet stable enough to charge through chopped-up afternoon snow. Its 98mm waist is the "sweet spot" for versatility, offering plenty of surface area for soft snow days while remaining nimble enough for technical rail lines and quick edge-to-edge carves on the piste. Whether you're a freestyle veteran or an all-mountain explorer looking for a more creative ride, the Prodigy 2 turns the entire mountain into your personal playground.
Key Features:
-
Poplar Wood Core: A medium-weight, durable softwood that provides excellent flex and vibration absorption, giving the ski its signature energetic and "poppy" feel.
-
Directional Twin Shape: A slightly narrower tail than tip provides ultimate downhill performance while maintaining the symmetrical feel needed for switch skiing and freestyle landings.
-
Elliptical Sidecut: Engineered with a longer radius underfoot for stability at speed and shorter radii in the tip and tail for easy turn initiation and effortless pivoting.
-
XL 2.5mm Edges: Built to take a beating. These extra-thick edges are designed specifically to withstand the high-impact nature of park skiing and rail sliding.
-
Surf Zones: Combines rocker and tip taper to ensure the ski feels catch-free in all snow conditions, preventing hooked edges and allowing for smooth, "surfy" pivots.
-
Full Strength Sidewall: This construction places protective strips along the core to shield the wood and edges from impact, significantly increasing the ski's lifespan.
-
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap: A hybrid construction where the topsheet wraps around to meet the sidewall, protecting the most vulnerable parts of the ski from cosmetic and structural damage.
