Poppy and fun, the Faction Prodigy 1.0X Skis are forgiving enough to learn those tricks and strong enough to stomp them once they're dialed. A favorite of team rider Kelly Sildaru, this setup holds its own navigating the far reaches of the mountain, too - a fantastic freestyle tool you can explore the entire ski area with!
330 mm Tip Rocker / 3 mm Camber / 320 mm Progressive Tail Rocker
Flex Rating – 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff)
Directional Twin – A considerably skinnier tail width than 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 without problem.
Surf Zones – Unites rocker and tip taper ensuring these two key features work in harmony. Rocker provides float and facilitates pivoting, while a tapered tip moves the widest part of the ski closer to the center and removes unwanted hooking. Surf Zones promise a floaty, seamless ride in all conditions.
Poplar Core – Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like a park ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.
Full Strength Sidewall – This construction places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the wood core, edges and topsheet from impacts and outside damage.
Micro Cap – A hybrid of a premium sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping.
XL 2.2 mm Edges – Extra edge thickness gives the skier a pair of skis that absorb shock and impact much better than skis with standard edges. The result is a ski with a much higher life expectancy.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

The popular Atomic Warden 11 Ski Bindings are now MNC compatible, and the world's a better place because of it. Where previous models were strictly ISO 5355 Alpine sole devices, the new version lets you use pretty much any type of adult standard sole. This means you can use your touring boot or your alpine boot on the same pair of skis (provided you have adequate length adjustment and the touring boot has ISO 9523 toe and heel lugs). The other Warden characteristics that make it a favorite among powder and sidecountry skiers remain the same, namely dependability and positive, low effort step in action.
U-Power Toe – Delivers powerful, precise steering. Low profile and MNC (Multi-Norm Compatible).
Automatic Wing Adjustment – Adapts automatically and easily to your boot width and height. It also keeps release values constant for worn out boots.
Manual Toe Height Adjustment
SCP Slider Pedal – Anti-friction system to guarantee safe release.
Freeski Brakes – Self-retracting brakes for a close position to the heel so they never catch.
Heel Flex Interface – Guarantees natural ski flex.
Low Profile Chassis – A low stand height improves your feel for the terrain and enhances power transmission to the ski.
Oversized Platform – A super wide (71 mm) platform ensures maximum lateral power transmission.
Progressive Transfer Pads – Special inserts underneath the toe and heel increase damping and forgiveness.
Multi Norm Certified (MNC) – Compatible with ISO 5355 Alpine, ISO 9523 Touring, WTR (Walk to Ride) and GripWalk Soles. Not compatible with non-ISO 9523 standard touring soles with shortened toe and heel lugs.
Adjustment Range – 28 mm
Stack Height – 24mm
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
