Faction Candide 2.0 Skis 2018
It's Candide Thovex's ski and it's been brought to the masses. The Faction CT 2.0 Skis are ideal for an all-mountain ripper who wants a flexy feel in the park to butter and press with. The 2.0 is perfect for someone needing a versatile ski that really finds it's stride in park. Shaped symmetrically, so you can ride it regular or switch with equal ease. Carbon reinforcement in their core dampens the entirety of the ski, allowing super solid landings no matter how sketchy you get in the air. The Faction Candide 2.0 Skis are a one ski quiver for the freestyle-oriented all mountain skier.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 325mm rocker in the tip, 2mm camber underfoot, and 310mm rocker in the tail.
Flex
Medium-Stiff Flex – 6/10 - Stable at speed or on big landings, but still playful enough to butter and press.
Sidecut
Symmetrical Shape – Designed to handle identically forward and switch.
Core
Poplar/Beech Wood Core – Great hold on hard snow with a light and snappy feel.
Laminates
Carbon Reinforcement Underfoot
Sidewalls
Sandwich Construction – Used on most of Faction's skis. A traditional manufacturing method that provides strength, durability, good grip, and edge hold. Rubber is used to dampen vibration and bond the base layers to the core.
Micro-Cap Protection – Continuing efforts to improve chip-resistance in their skis, Faction incorporated a 'micro' cap where the topsheet meets the sidewall on sandwich constructed skis.
Base
Die-Cut PTEX 3000 Base – Used on most Faction Skis. Sintered PTEX 3000 base material is more porous and holds wax well.
Graphics
Matte Textured Topsheet – Matte ICP8210 topsheets require no lacquering saving around 100gm/pair, and reduces the use of not-quite-environmentally friendly lacquer. It also shows through the natural structure of the underlying laminate layers.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Short < 16 m radius is best for carving.

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.

Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings 2018
There's little argument among top skiers that the Look Pivot bindings provide the best elasticity and safety margin in the industry, and the Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings deliver both in spades, along with dual compatibility for both ISO Alpine and WTR rockered boot soles. If you crave the performance and security of the Pivot but simply cannot justify the Pivot 18, the Look Pivot 14 Dual WTR Ski Bindings are for you.
Product Details
Toe Piece
180˚ Multi-Directional Release – A true mechanical upward release that functions independently from the heel for the most effective multi-directional protection in the case of a fall.
Toe Lateral Elasticity – 45 mm
Dual Standard Concept – Look strategically reinforced the toe housing, increased the toe ramp, elongated the toe-wings, and created a toe that is compatible with both ISO 5355 Alpine soles and WTR (Walk-to-Ride) rockered soles.
Heel Piece
Heel Vertical Elasticity – 28 mm
7 Points of Contact – More points of contact with the boot results in superior lateral energy transmission with better response, control and snow feel.
Turntable Heel – Look's unique turntable heel design provides shock absorption and unmatched smoothness and consistency for lateral release.
Additional Features
Short Mounting Zone – Placing the heel screws under the boot sole shortens the mount zone considerably, letting the ski flex more naturally.
Ramp° – 0.2°
Ski Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
