Very few skis can truly claim to be a one-quiver solution for most riders, but the Faction Prodigy 3 Ski has cracked the code. The 106mm waist floats beautifully through powder, pivots and smears through crud, and carves across sweeping groomers. The twin-tip profile allows us to stomp backward landings and offers premium control as the powder gets deeper. The poplar core is exceptionally durable and is protected by 2. 5mm sidewalls that extend the life of the ski, so we can enjoy the ride for many seasons to come.
