Take a first look at Faction's 20/21 ski line up: Part 1

     Still mourning the unexpected early end of the last season? Here's something to cheer you up. 

    As a valued member of our Pro Collective, we're giving you a sneak peek of our new ski line-up.

    We're incredibly proud to present you:
    The Agent Series and The Dictator Series 20/21. 

    Available for pre-order July 2020.
     



    The Agent Series is our solution for a modern, lightweight touring ski that’s highly efficient on the way up and absolutely epic going down. Using a Karuba wood core for responsive, rebounding flex and a carbon weave to boost rigidity and stability, the Agent models are your best friend — whether you’re searching for early season backcountry treasures or have your eyes set on that springtime couloir mission. So, go ahead: escape the crowds and earn yourself those untouched goods.

     



    Imagine your classic freeride flat-tail rebooted into the 21st century — there you have the Dictator. Designed with poplar cores reinforced by two burly sheets of metal, the Dictator Series is built for fast, furious performance. Beyond the skis’ rock-steady stability and edge hold, a healthy dose of tip and tail rocker allows for Mach 10 crud-busting and enhanced float in soft-snow conditions. Additionally, our Elliptical sidecut design allows for surprisingly nimble, no-hook handling. Perfect for that elusive couloir and for arcing turns on formidable mountain faces, the Dictator Series is for those who want to push themselves right to the brink of their limits. Say it once, and say it loud: “STAY METAL.”
