The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

The 2024 Faction Prodigy 1.0 was super fun in the park, on groomers and hard packed snow, even got a chance to test it out in the powder - not quite for the powder since its 88mm underfoot. Holds its edge well on packed snow and carving groomers, if you're looking to get into freestyle, this is your all-mountain twin tip recommended for beginner to advanced skiers with a nod to the freestyle community. If you are an expert skier or a more aggressive freestyle skier and want something easy to spin and swap with on rails, hit a future spin on the prodigy 1.0’s! Nimble in the harder bump fields and quick edge to edge with 2.5mm xl steel edging allows for a bit more durability than previous models.

Ideal for
  • Directional Twin tip design allows for ease of spinning and skiing switch
  • Camber underfoot and a relatively firm flex rating provides a solid blend of playfulness and pop
  • Prodigy 1 holds up well at higher speeds and holds its edge with authority when carving
Not ideal for
  • Too narrow for skiing powder or getting into fresh snow, I sank in more than 6" of fresh snow
  • Edging in nose and tail is not fully wrapped, edging may come out of sidewall after heavy use
  • Do not use in backcountry, more of a downhill focus around freestyle skiing

Prodigy 1 mirrors the shape of the best-selling Prodigy 2, including our award-winning 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.

Alex is the best!!! 💯🙌🏻
5 /5
I’m brand new to snowboarding (but have done other board sports🏄🏻‍♀️🛹) and know nothing about snowboarding! I’m so thankful for Alex because he was able to find me the perfect board, bindings and boots - all within my budget! He also was able to answer all my questions and get back to me fast! On top of which he checked on me after I received my products to ensure everything fit right and was to my liking which I really appreciate! 😊 Lastly he reminded me of my credits that I had from my first purchase and recommend multiple options for things I can spend it on that are easily forgotten about when your new to snowboarding (even though they’re kinda important - such as gloves, goggles, travel case, etc). Definitely will be recommending Alex to all my friends who are interested in getting into snowboarding and for other friends who are planning on changing snowboards but not sure what is best for them! And for sure will be a returning client - when it’s time to change my gear! 😊🏂

I was doing my own research and it was exhausting to be honest. Saw a youtube video and decided to give this a try. Thank goodness I did. Ethan pointed me in the right direction and even recommended some things I was already interested in. Was able to purchase with confidence and that goes a long way. Good looking out Ethan

I’ve spent the last several months researching and accumulating gear for the upcoming season— as a beginner, there is a lot of information out there, and choosing the right board and accessories can be daunting and confusing. Nate went above and beyond to not only make great recommendations for me but to give me lots of choices based on price point, style, goals, and more. He answered all of my questions and was always more than willing to chat with me about all things snowboard. Highly recommend Nate for all your snow sport needs!

I just recently started snowboarding and finally committed to getting my own gears instead of renting. Nick was above and beyond every step of the way! He was able to provide the best recommendations in terms of both quality and skill level while being conscious of my budget. I ran into a bit of a hiccup when I tried price matching with curated and missed out on a deal unfortunately. However, Nick was ever persistent and did everything in his power to get me some store credits which eventually helped me get an even better deal than the one I tried to price-match originally! Highly highly recommend Nick for anyone who is looking to pick up some quality Snowboard gears that are best suited for you while being budget-friendly!!

We’ve always used Jake in the past and we’re disappointed that he is no longer with the company. We were matched up with Garrett and he did not disappoint. Garrett was able to find the board my son wanted and price match to another company that was having a sale. Looking forward to working with him again.

I know nothing about snowboards and my son asked for a board for Christmas. We have been through a lot this year personally and just trying to make the holidays a bit more special for our son. The help I received from Vince was Incredible. He helped me put a board together that my son has been talking about. Well, it will surely be a surprise for him! Vince's knowledge was so helpful. He gets it! He knows what the younger ones want but helped me put it all together! Truly thankful!!! I highly recommend Vince!
