    DANCER SERIES

    DANCER 1X

    DANCER 1X

    DANCER 2

    DANCER 2

    "A strong, energetic, precise all-mountain ski. A ski with a rare blend of agility and support. It really rewards an aggressive-yet-dynamic style. Very impressive in terms of turn initiation and edge hold." Blister Gear Review

    DANCER 2X

    DANCER 2X

    "The Dancer 2X has proven to be a compelling option in the directional all-mountain category for fairly experienced to expert skiers who like strong, stable skis but who have found the heavier, more traditional options lacking in maneuverability, energy, and agility." Blister Gear Review

    DANCER 3

    DANCER 3

    "Really shines under the feet of dynamic skiers who can leverage its strong flex pattern and low swing weight to attack the fall line while also seeking out drops and gaps." Blister Gear Review

    DANCER 3X

    DANCER 3X

    "Like a dancer, this ski is strong and able to charge through the roughest conditions, but nimble and controlled when gracefully maneuvering through technical terrain." Forecast Magazine


    PRODIGY SERIES

    PRODIGY 1

    PRODIGY 1X, 2, 2X

    PRODIGY 3

    "One of the more playful skis at the test. Really poppy, very enjoyable to ski. Stiff underfoot, softer tips and tails, super playful in the pow. Lots of butters to be had. Carves well on groomers. Impressed by how well it holds an edge." Newschoolers


    AGENT SERIES

    AGENT 1

    AGENT 2

    AGENT 2X

    AGENT 3

    "The Agent 3 will partner best with directional skiers who want to apply their aggressive resort skiing to a backcountry setting." Blister Gear Review

    AGENT 3X


    MANA SERIES

    MANA 2

    Mana 2

    "The Faction Mana 2 quickly became a tester favorite due in large part to its incredible stability compared to its featherweight feel." Freeskier Magazine

    MANA 2X

    Mana 2X

    MANA 3

    Mana 3

    "I had to double-check that it was actually 112mm because it skied with the ease of something much narrower. The support and technical demands of a directional ski are there, but accompanied by the light, playful and poppy characters that you would expect from a freestyle-focused ski." Forecast Magazine

    MANA 3X

    Mana 3X

    "Bold enough to walk the line between all-mountain and backcountry, the Faction Mana 3X floats, pops, slashes and carves literally all over the mountain… It’s an intuitive ski that is equally playful and aggressive" Freeskier Magazine


    LA MACHINE SERIES

    LA MACHINE 2 MINI

    La Machine Mini

    LA MACHINE 3 MEGA

    La Machine Mega

    "The Mega is impressively light for its size, but like its wider sibling [The Max 5], it's also impressively predictable in otherwise unpredictable backcountry conditions." Blister Gear Review

    LA MACHINE 5 MAX

    La Machine Max
