Who would love these

The Faction Studio 1 Skis are ideal for park enthusiasts who thrive on precision and style. They're perfect for skiers who love switch skiing and want to nail every trick with confidence.

Symmetrical twin-tip design
Lightweight Poplar/Ash core
Carbon weave for extra pop
7mm XL sidewall for edge hold

Expert verdict

The Faction Studio 1 Skis are a game-changer for park enthusiasts. With their symmetrical twin-tip design, they make skiing switch feel like a breeze. The Poplar/Ash core offers a perfect balance of lightweight agility and robust power, while the carbon weave adds that extra pop for takeoffs. What I love most is the 7mm XL sidewall, which provides incredible edge hold, making every trick feel precise and controlled. These skis are perfect for anyone looking to push their limits in the park. However, they might not be the best choice for those who prefer all-mountain skiing. Overall, if you're all about style and precision in the park, these are your skis!

Jamie made this SO easy
5 /5
I didn't know this website existed until this week and I am obsessed. It made it so easy to find what I wanted, and Jamie did the work to create a super digestible list so I could make my final decision. He was able to explain everything and the difference between products. Highly recommend.

Vincent is A-W-E, S-O-M-E
5 /5
Shopping for a new board for the first time in (gasp) 17 years! I have been riding a Burton Feelgood and while I still love the board, it's time to see how things have changed. Vincent helped with selecting a few boards, and then was super patient with me while I popped back in...day after day, looking through things, reading reviews, spending lots of time overthinking my decision....all the while Vincent was there checking in to see if I needed help. And when I did he was super responsive in answering all my questions. Was leaning toward the Burton Feelgood again, but decided to try something new and "settled" on the Arbor Swoon Camber. Can't wait to ride my new board!

This was my first time buying a snowboard and Frankie made it easy. He was extremely knowledgeable and had my best interest in mind. He responded very quickly and was always glad to help.

Frankie is the best!
5 /5
Honestly don’t know anything but Frankie guided me and provided me with knowledgeable information for my first ever board and gear! Also possibly Frankie could somehow be a wizard because I told him if he can somehow get the boss (my wife) to somehow some way says yes for me to getting the gear then imma get it! And she magically said yes. So Frankie is a wizard… so great and easy person to get along with!

Kat was so helpful!
5 /5
Kat was so patient with all my questions and truly helped me figure out what gear would work best for me! She recommended me a good couple of boards and went into detail on each one and what the different features were and how they’d benefit me. As someone who buys for looks and pretty colors, I’m glad I had help to be confident in my purchase for my ride style and experience level!
