Prodigy 3 Skis

About the Faction Prodigy 3

The Faction Prodigy 3 is designed to be a durable ski that could be enjoyed by anyone in all conditions. It's still got that versatile 106mm waist, and as one of the widest models in the new Prodigy series it's targeted at those skiers who want to pack plenty of freeride and soft snow performance into a ski that can still rail groomers comfortably when it needs to.

One of the more directional shapes in the Faction lineup, the Prodigy 3 features a slightly set back mount point to maximise forwards stability and a firm to medium flex that combines with full sidewall construction and camber underfoot to create a ski that feels reliable and burly, with plenty of edge hold. This allows the ski to carve well on firm snow, and offers enough suspension for the ski to be very capable in choppy and variable snow too.

There's definitely still an element of playfulness to this ski though- plenty of tip rocker with a moderate semi-twin tail rocker provides float and allows the ski to be broken loose and to slash in soft snow, as well as easing turn initiation for a nimble feel. The tip also features a tapered shape, where the widest point of the tip is pushed back towards the binding, lowering swing weight to improve the ski's ability to pivot, and also lowering the drag effects caused by powder snow to help the ski feel surfy and smooth on those deep days.

All of these features are wrapped around a poplar woodcore that's snappy and durable, and ultimately makes the Faction Prodigy 3 a dependable and versatile option for any and all playful all-mountain skiers who prioritise soft snow performance but needs a ski that they can rely on in all conditions.
