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.
Sustainable Wood Cores
Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.
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. By eliminating oil use, our production process cuts millions of kilograms of CO2 emissions annually. Eco-friendly performance with every run.
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
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.
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. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.
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. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
High Resistance Topsheet
We use the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain

Why we use Prodigy 3
"Has got to be my favorite all around ski that I've skied on. It's super soft all around and just makes skiing ten times more fun."
"Works super well in all kinds of terrain. Its a ski that I trust. I like to ski quite aggressive and it hasn't let me down, it last super well."
"Very good ski, fun in all conditions, from park to powder, all day long!"
"All time all around ski that performs everywhere. Soft enough to be playful and butter but also snappy and strong enough for big jumps."
The goal of the Faction Prodigy 3 is to have a super-durable ski that can be enjoyed by anyone, in any conditions. With the directional twin shape, elipitcal sidecut and poplar wood core, the ski is intuitive and perfectly balanced for skiers looking to progress their skills. Its 106 mm waist is highly adept in both packed and powder snow conditions, making the Prodigy 3 a one ski quiver for the freestyle and freeride skier.
You'll love this ski if:
- You want a playful ski for all conditions, including powder
- You want a ski that carves hard, but also easily pivots and smears
- You love to butter and occasionally ski or land backwards
- You are always on the look-out for the little pocket of pow that didnt get skied
