I spent multiple days of my season on the Faction Mana 2s this year and enjoyed them so much I ended up adding them to my quiver. These are ideal for intermediate and advanced skiers looking for an all mountain ski that puts an emphasis on excelling at off-piste terrain like moguls, trees, and back bowls, with plenty of groomer confidence and a freestyle attitude. At 102 underfoot, they have the perfect dimensions for the snow conditions in the West, with playful rocker tips and tails for additional float and easy turning. It's not a true twin tip, but you'll absolutely be able to throw them around in the park if you want to. You can certainly put it on edge when you want to and get plenty of speed with it but it does have it's limits when it comes to carving and high speed stability. It does give 3 mounting point options to better accommodate a skiers style. Classic puts you further back on the ski to give you better handling and edge hold. Progressive is the real sweet spot for maximizing versatility. New School puts you towards the nose giving you a well balanced ski for high flying antics. If you're like me where you get off the lift and head directly into the trees, this ski will treat you well.
