Product Features
Poplar Core
Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park.
Recycled Materials
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.
Locally Sourced Materials
To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact.
100% Renewable Energy Factory
Our skis are crafted in a state-of-the-art facility powered entirely by renewable electricity and heated with biomass energy.
XL 2.5mm Edges
A ski's edge is critical to its performance and handling. Our skis are crafted with XL edges that are 25% wider than the industry average. They're built to last.
Full Strength Sidewall
Added protective strips along the core, shield the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage.
Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear.
Mustache Flex
The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris.

"I retuned these skis a week ago because they were the wrong size & I have not received my reimbursement yet"
Very playful, great for pow.
"Amazing skis, super playful!!! Would love for a smaller size to come out. Just a bit too big for me."
Best powder skis!
"These skis are super playful and sporty. I love the shape. They are hard charging and solid while still being bouncy and playful. I feel like a pro on these things! My favorite skis I've tried from any brand yet."
Favorite ski in my quiver
"Got these to update my quiver this year. Also added the Dynastar 99 Free to my quiver. Before these I was riding more directional Volkl skis. After demoing some skis I realized I like the surfy feel of twin tips even though I don't ride switch. Really happy with my purchase. Comparing these to my Volkls and Dynastars makes me realize that these are my favorite. They hold the best edge out of all my skis even though they're 116 in the waist - but still are super loose and fun. Super confidence inspiring. Great in crud. If I needed a one ski quiver I would get the Prodigy 3. 0 but luckily I don't and have the 4. 0. That being said, when my skinnier skis need replacing I'll definitely be looking at the skinnier Prodigies. Thank you, Faction, for making awesome skis!"
Happiness!
"Not a bad word about these skis. When the snow is plenty, bringing these skis to the three lines is like bringing your kid to the playground: pure happiness!"
Fun skis
"Set them up as backcountry skis. Fun uphill ski!"
Beautifull
"Pleeaaase make an X version. I love them but they are just too big for me! They are beautifull."
My favorite ski when the weather is generous
"Performs superbly in powder, even when mounted relatively far forward. Absorbs and cuts everything in its path. Relatively light for tricks."
Q&A
- Where does the collective usually mount the Prodigy 4? (I mounted them -3cm from dead center)
- Hi Cooper, Thanks for your question. People typically mount the Prodigy 4 in either the Progressive or New school positions. That said, there is also a solid crowd that mounts ahead of New school, which makes the skis even more surfy and agile. -3cm is a solid option if you're looking for that.
