The Faction Agent 2 Ski is an all-mountain ski the soul of a touring ski, resulting in a pair of sticks we can trust on both the up and the down. The Karuba core, which is similar to paulownia, keeps things lightweight on the up to save our legs. On the down, the familiar combination of rocker and camber with a 96mm waist width provides a nimble, floaty, and maneuverable feel that opens up a world of fun.
