Product Info
You've decided that this is the year you ski all the big volcanoes in the Cascades. Congratulations, that's one heck of a tick list. Now you need a ski that will power through the long slogs, and won't slouch on the way back down when you find out that is does indeed snow at 10,000 feet, even in June. Drop in on a pair of Faction Agent 100 Skis, with a rockered tip that planes in pow and a cambered underfoot section for purchase on the skin track, and turn down the suck on the long slogs.
Product Details
Rocker Type
M Tip Rocker – 5 mm of Rocker over 150 mm of length.
5 mm Camber – Maximum rebound and quick turn initiation.
Flex
Medium-Stiff Flex – Stable, solid ride at speed. Less forgiving than a softer ski.
Sidecut
Medium Turning Radius – Excels at all speeds and in all conditions. Quick edge-to-edge without feeling hooky.
Shape
Flat Tail
Lightweight Freeride / Touring
Core
Paulownia Wood Core – Paulownia is a very light hardwood that is stable and easy to machine. Cores made with this material are ligther than Balsa/Flax cores, but are more expensive and require a lamination layer such as carbon fiber to improve responsiveness.
STP Technology – A patent-pending process used to press a small wave into the length of the ski. This creates a 'pre-stressed' core with increased torsional strength, letting Faction use less wood to create lighter, more forgiving skis with above-average edge-grip. For 14/15, Faction developed a variation of the technique that provides a perfectly flat base.
Laminates
Carbon Fibre – Laminates like carbon fibre are used to compliment the properties of the core material by increasing torsional strength, edge-grip and rebound.
Phenol Binding Plate – Phenol is a hard plastic material that secures the binding screws. The one-piece design fits most touring bindings with centre screws.
Gloss Lacquered ICP2112 Topsheet – Used on most Faction skis, gloss lacquered ICP2112 topsheets are colourfast and look great. The lacquer is applied to the ski after pressing.
Sidewalls
Sandwich Construction – Used on most Faction 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.
Base
Die-Cut Ptex 4000 – Sintered PTEX 4000 base material is more porous and holds wax better than PTEX 2000.
Edges
1.8 mm Edges – Used on 99% of Faction skis, the 1.8 mm hardened steel edges are strong and dependable.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain:
All-Mountain, Alpine Touring
More
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. Alpine Touring Also known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

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
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber Rocker/Camber skis pair a traditional cambered profile underfoot with an elongated, early rise tip borrowed from fully rockered skis. This profile places the front contact point further back from the tip, while the rear contact point remains close to the tail. The rockered tip allows for better flotation and less edge catch for increased float in deep snow, while the cambered rear stores and transmits energy similarly to a fully cambered ski.

Turning Radius:
Medium

Turning Radius
Medium 17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
- Core/Laminates: Carbon, Wood
-
Tail Type:
Flat
More
Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
