Product description

La Machine Micro takes the key elements that earned La Machine cult status, and packs it into a Micro package.

This ultra-light, carbon-loaded ski is the backcountry tourer's dream — it's softer and 200g lighter than the popular Faction Agent skis, so you can move as swiftly as a cat through off-piste terrain. Its progressive, ultra-rockered shape inspires effortless float, pivoting and smearing in variable snow. Backed by the finest, most durable Austrian construction, powered 100% by renewable energy.

F#ck the piste. Find the pow. La Machine is the pinnacle in free-touring, the Faction tool for the true backcountry aficionados. With dual carbon layers, La Machine is ultra-light for efficient trekking capability. Pair this feather-weight character with a soft flex pattern and exaggerated rocker profile, and the result is dream float on the dream day, as well as effortless pivoting and smearing in mixed-bag conditions. Eco-conscious construction – including the bio-based resin, recycled materials and sustainable wood core – complete the package, because we know you care deeply about preserving wild spaces as much as you love playing in them.

Lightweight Paulownia
Lightweight Paulownia:
Paulownia is an extremely lightweight wood core with excellent strength properties. Paulownia provides beautiful flex and vibration absorption without adding bulk, making it an ideal wood core for a touring ski that performs just as well on the uphill as on the downhill. Fun fact: Paulownia and Karuba wood share near identical properties and are distinguished by the region in which the wood grows.
Full Carbon Layers:
Two full-length sheets of Carbon Fiber sandwich the wood core, for a lightweight yet responsive and torsionally rigid ski.
Full Strength Sidewall
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, edges and topsheet from impact and outside damage.
Elliptical Radius Sidecut
Elliptical Radius Sidecut:
Elliptical Radius 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, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in seamless turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths and angles.
 Anti-Chip Micro Cap
Anti-Chip Micro Cap:
Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
Mustache Flex
Mustache Flex:
The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex works best for most skiers. 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 and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex allows for progression and for an easier turn initiation and finish
Resistant Cover Sheet
Resistant Cover Sheet:
We process only the best topsheet materials available and test them extensively to guarantee they will stand up to the toughest use. For a greener supply chain, materials are sourced from near our factories in Europe.
Sustainability
Sustainably-Harvested Wood Core
Sustainably-Harvested Wood Core:
The Faction poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near the European Faction factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances. The raw materials are FSC accredited. This means that the forests from which their wood is sourced are managed to support environmental and societal sustainability.
Recycled Materials
Recycled Materials:
Built with recycled materials, never sacrificing durability. Faction is working with their production partners to eliminate material waste. They 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. As a fun fact, by integrating recycled materials into their ski bases, they reduce the ecological impact of our bases by 75%.
Locally Sourced Materials
Locally Sourced Materials:
In an effort to reduce the impact of their supply chain, Faction strives to source materials from European companies that are based near their factories.
1% for the Planet
1% for the Planet:
As a proud partner of 1% for the Planet, Faction donates 1% of all sales of their Agent, La Machine and Dancer Series skis to approved environmental non-profits. 1% for the Planet’s mission is to build, support and activate an alliance of businesses that are financially committed to mitigating human-driven climate change.
Bio-Based Resin
Bio-Based Resin:
This ski uses an environmentally-conscious, bio-based resin that has 35% of its molecular range derived from plant material. It has the same structural properties as resin derived solely from petrochemical products. Faction is working diligently to implement the bio-based resin across their wider collection for season 23|24.
