Faction Prodigy 1 23/24 Freeski
The Prodigy 1 mirrors the shape of the best-selling Prodigy 2, including the award-winning Faction Elliptical Sidecut design and a Full Strength Sidewall for top-notch edge hold.
It's designed to withstand heavy hits in the park: the poplar core is bolstered by the inclusion of burly ash wood; Anti-Chip Micro-Cap construction protects against dings; and the XL 2.5mm Edges are ~20% thicker than industry average. The Prodigy Series represents all that Faction stands for: progression, thoughtfully crafted from the durable topsheets all the way down to the perfectly finished bases. Responsive wood cores, directional twin-tip shapes and versatile camber lines deliver confidence-inspiring performance. Quick to respond to commands and ultra easy to handle, the Prodigy skis are designed to elevate the skier’s game. Backed by a class-leading two-year warranty.

Poplar is a light, durable softwood with good flex and pop, as well as excellent vibration damping. Ash is a heavier hardwood that adds extra rigidity and durability to poplar. This duo offers good grip on hard snow, a solid base for safe landings, and enough pop and flex to get creative.
7 fractions of a millimetre might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 35% of height on top of Factions already super-durable standard 1.8mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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%.
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.
