All you want is a park ski that is symmetrical, has a medium flex, and a touch of rocker to cut down swing weight. Oh, and avoiding taking out a loan to afford a pair of skis would be nice, too. It's not too much to ask right? Look no further than the Faction Idiom Skis. Featuring all of the things you want from a park ski, and nothing you don't, the Idiom is a simple, solid tool for taking on handrails, stepping to big jumps, and maybe even making a turn or two when you need to. *These are factory blem skis that may have slight cosmetic damage.*
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 10 mm rocker in the tip / 5 mm camber underfoot / 5 mm rocker in the tail
Flex Rating 3.5 (1 Soft - 6 Stiff) – Designed to be buttery throughout, yet remain stable enough to handle big jumps.
Short Turning Radius – Quick and agile edge to edge at all speeds.
Symmetrical Twin Outline – Tip and tail dimensions are identical for reliable and consistent handling both forward and switch.
Poplar / Ash Core – Poplar is a medium-weight, damp, vibration-absorbing softwood. Ash is a heavier hardwood that compliments the Poplar by increasing stiffness, responsiveness and providing a solid base for the binding screws.
Bi-Axial/ Tri-axial Fiberglass – Fiberglass is used in two different formats to aid the compressional strength of the core and esnusre long-lasting pop.
Gloss ICP8210 Topsheet – ICP8210 topsheets have a natural high-gloss finish which avoids the need for lacquer and helps the ski look better for longer. Better for the workers in the factory and better for the environment. A small but highly impactful change.
Cap Construction – Cap Construction is slightly less expensive per ski, but complicated to setup. Still using wood cores, the cap technique removes the sidewall to save weight and materials. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
Die-Cut Ptex 2000 – Extruded PTEX 2000 base material combines performance and value.
Carbon Ground Base – High quality base finish for intense speed.
1.8 mm Edges – Used on 99% of Faction's skis, the 1.8 mm hardened steel edges are strong and dependable.
Digital Printing – Used on Faction's core and women's models, digital printing provides greater flexibility for designing complex graphics and requires no setup process, however the colors are not as bright or strong as the silkscreen method.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
