This item is a blem
Blemished inventory or a “blem” is a new, unused product that has a cosmetic error. This cosmetic error comes from the manufacturer and does not affect the structural integrity of the product. Meaning it will perform, excite and satisfy to the same extent as a non-blemished model.
When most of your skiing is done on firm snow, or if you tend to spend more time in the park than anywhere else, there's no reason to go wide. Get the Faction Prodigy 1 Skis and join the legions of satisfied park and pipe wizards who've mastered their craft on this ski and won't look anywhere else. Built for the long haul with a burly Poplar and Ash wood core, Microcap sidewalls and XL 2.5mm edges to keep stompin' when others fail.
Rocker Type
Rocker-Camber-Rocker
Flex
Flex Rating – 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
Sidecut
Elliptical Sidecut – Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions.
Shape
Directional Twin – A considerably skinnier tail width than in 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 with ease.
Tip Height – 64mm
Tail Height – 50mm
Core
Sustainable Poplar-Ash Wood Core – Poplar is a light-colored, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having great vibration absorption capabilities. Ash is a heavier hardwood, that complements Poplar by adding stiffness and durability. This duo provides excellent hold on hard snow, a solid base for stomping landings and enough pop and flex for creativity.
Sidewalls
Microcap Full Strength Sidewall – Micro-cap construction is 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.
Edges
XL 2.5mm Edges – Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
