SUMMARY
Park and all-mountain freestyle ski with 88mm waistThe Faction Prodigy 1 is the precision-focused option in the Prodigy series — a 88mm-waist park and all-mountain freestyle ski built for skiers who want sharp handling on hardpack features alongside genuine all-mountain capability. Where the Prodigy 0 prioritises ease and lightness, the Prodigy 1 takes a step up in performance: its unique Poplar and Ash wood core provides the strength and stiffness needed to withstand hard landings, rail hits and aggressive use, while keeping the weight in check for fluid spinning and buttering.
A carbon and rubber stomp pad is integrated into the construction to absorb vibrations, making landings smoother and park riding more controlled. The Elliptical Sidecut supports a wide variety of turn shapes and mounting positions, and Full Strength Sidewall construction underfoot delivers the edge hold required for carving out groomed runs between park laps. XL 2.5mm edges provide extra durability across the season. Austrian-built using 100% renewable energy.
