About Faction Prodigy 1 Capsule skis 2025

Celebrating the natural wonders of the North American East Coast, artist Elsa Grace presents the Prodigy 1 Capsule with a hand-illustrated collage of the region's maritime character. 

The Prodigy 1 is designed for skiers seeking precise handling in the park and on-piste. Featuring an award-winning elliptical sidecut, these skis offer effortless turn initiation at any speed, while full strength sidewalls deliver exceptional edge hold. The Prodigy 1 is 88mm underfoot, enhancing its precision on hard-packed features.

A unique construction of a poplar wood and ash wood core provides the strength needed to withstand heavy hits. For this newest model, we've integrated a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb vibrations, making your ride and creative expression smoother and more sure-footed than ever. Paired with XL 2.5mm edges, the Prodigy 1 skis are built for lasting durability.

FEATURES

Directional twin
A considerably skinnier tail width than in the tip provides ultimate downhill performance for attacking the mountain. A twin tip in the tail encourages playfulness and freestyle attitude, meaning you can ride switch with ease.

Poplar/ash core  
Poplar is a light, durable softwood known for its flex, pop, and excellent vibration absorption. Ash, a heavier hardwood, adds stiffness and durability. Together as a duo, they offer great hold on hard snow, a solid base for landings, and enough pop and flex for creative maneuvers.

Carbon and rubber stomp pad  
A 600mm-long, 15mm-wide carbon & rubber inlay adds strength where it matters most. Protecting not only the wood core from heavy-duty impacts, it adds stability and vibration absorption under your boots, so that stomped landings feel better, both for you and your skis.

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 to our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact.

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 a 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.

Moustache 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.
