Who would love these
These skis are perfect for backcountry skiers who love extended touring missions. They're ideal for those who want a lightweight, versatile ski that performs well in deep snow and varied conditions.
Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The Faction La Machine 3 Mega Skis are a dream for backcountry enthusiasts. They're incredibly light, thanks to the carbon construction, making those long uphill treks a breeze. The 109mm waist offers just the right amount of float for powder days, while still being agile enough for varied conditions. What I love most is the rockered shape, which makes turning and surfing through different snow types feel effortless. However, if you're looking for a ski purely for groomed runs, you might want to consider something else. But for those who crave adventure and versatility, these skis are a fantastic choice.

Is this ski recommended for you?



Light as can be and loaded with carbon, this 109-mm-waisted beauty is ideal for extended touring missions. La Machine Mega 3 offers similar float as compared to its fatter siblings, but in a more versatile package, for ample flotation on the deepest of days and nimble handling when the weather’s high and dry. Its progressive, rockered shape allows for hook-free pivoting and surfing across any & all snow conditions.
