2024 Faction Prodigy 1 Gu All Mountain Park Skis 164cm – NEW. From Faction: Designed with Eileen Gu and Paris-based Parade Studio. The Big Cat graphics embody strength and fluidity of movement. The Cats sit in a mirrored composition so Eileen (and you) can see them when the skis are in action – to reflect the bidirectionality of these twin-tip skis. 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. 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. 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. Rocker Profile: 20% ROCKER – 65% CAMBER – 15% ROCKER. 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. Dimensions: 120mm/ 88mm/ 112mm.
