The Faction Prodigy 1 features an elliptical sidecut that unlocks effortless turn initiation at any speed, and full strength sidewalls that deliver rip-roaring edge hold. Compared to the award-winning Prodigy 2 this ski is 10mm narrower underfoot, for precise handling in the park and on-piste. The Prodigy 1’s core is also unique to the family: the poplar wood is bolstered by ash wood, yielding serious strength to withstand heavy hits. For the 24|25 season, Faction added a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb vibration from hits. Rounded out with XL 2.5mm edges, the Prodigy 1 is built to last.
