Who it's for: All-mountain freestyle skiers who want one ski that can do everything — rip groomers, handle soft snow, boost features in the park, and go switch when the situation calls for it. The Prodigy 2 is Faction's best-selling ski for good reason: at 98mm underfoot with a Poplar core and Carbon Stomp Pad it's the daily driver version of the Prodigy series, more versatile and more capable in varied terrain than the narrower Prodigy 1 without losing any of the playful, freestyle character the line is known for.

The Prodigy 1 is Faction's award-winning park and all-mountain freestyle ski — consistently earning Best in Test recognition on the park circuit for good reason. A tip and tail rocker profile with solid camber underfoot gives the ski float and forgiveness on landings while retaining the rebound and edge grip that make it genuinely fun on groomers. The Elliptical Sidecut runs a longer radius underfoot for easier pivots and a shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation — the combination that makes this ski handle a wide range of turn shapes without feeling demanding. A Poplar/Ash core handles heavy landings while retaining enough pop and flex for creative manoeuvres.

New for 2026 was Faction's Carbon and Rubber Stomp Pad — a 600mm-long carbon and rubber inlay under the binding zone that absorbs vibration and protects the core from hard impacts, making stomped landings feel better for both ski and skier. XL 2.5mm edges — 25% wider than the industry standard — add durability that holds up to a full season of rails, jibs, and park laps at Silver Star.
