Question 1

Are Faction skis any good?

Accepted Answer

The Faction Collective is an independent freeride ski-maker based in Verbier, Switzerland. They make a range of high-quality skis from the softer flexing Prodigy and Agent skis to the stiffer CT/Mana and Dictator/Dancer lines. Their skis have gotten rave reviews from freeride and park skiers in North America and Europe.

,

Faction is a cutting edge ski company that has an absolutely stacked team of athletes and a wide variety of ski makes and models to accommodate skiers looking for more of a freestyle/freeride aspect when on the slopes. Faction has been on the rise for the last decade and it's safe to say that they're here to stay. Check out their most recent movie, Roots @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfg_cLwwiZc Highlights on the Prodigy line with emphasis on the 3.0's for big mountain/all mountain freeride and 1.0's for the park. Each year the build is getting better and better with more of a damp and surfy feel while remaining increasingly durable. The only one adjustment I'd advocate for is a continual edge wrap in the nose and tail of their skis- pretty please.

Faction is one of the most trusted ski brands in the industry. For good reason, Faction skis are produced with high quality materials that provide exceptional performance in any terrain condition. Most Faction skis are built to perform well as a freeride ski but also perform exceptionally well in the park.

Question 2

Are Faction skis flexible?

Accepted Answer

Faction skis differ in their flex rating based on the material used in each build. They have models ranging from fairly stiff/firm manufacturers flex rating- The Dictator, now known as the Dancer coming out this season, and the Mana have relatively firm flex ratings due to the metal used in the core. All in all, Faction skis are not so flexible that they chatter or compromise your stability at speed. Yet they are not so firm that they feel clunky and unforgiving- I'd say they're just right.

The flex depends on the model of Faction skis. However, in most cases Faction skis tend to be more stiff than other skis due to their hard charging style. Like the CT 2.0 skis have a medium flex underfoot but a stiff tip and tail to absorb vibrations from landings and skiing off-piste.

Question 3

Are Faction skis good for park?

Accepted Answer

Not all Faction skis are built for use in the park - but some of their skis are designed with a steady diet of park skiing in mind and are very good for park use. Some Faction skis that should be considered for a skier that spends a significant amount in the park are the Prodigy 0.0, 1.0, 1.0x, 2.0 and 2.0x, the discontinued CT 1.0, 1.0x, 2.0 and 2.0x, and the newer Mana 2 and 2x. (The "X" denotes the "women's" graphic and the numbers refer to the widths of the skis, with wider Faction skis getting higher numbers.) The Prodigy and CT skis (as well as the Mana that is replacing the CT collections) are light, jibby, poppy and symmetrical twin-tips that popular among park skiers.

The entire mountain is the terrain park on Faction skis. They are an amazing option in the park as well. They can easily handle jumps, rails, and natural features.
