Three ski brands join our wall for the 26/27 season: Atomic, Faction and Kästle. Here is where each one comes from, what it is known for, and what we carry. Every product page has the full specs and sizes.
Atomic
Alois Rohrmoser built the first 40 pairs of Atomic skis by hand in 1955, in the Pongau region of Salzburg, Austria. Atomic still designs and tests at Altenmarkt im Pongau and has raced on the FIS World Cup since the 1960s.
We carry Atomic's Redster piste skis, race-bred with full camber and titanal for grip on hard snow; the Cloud women's skis; Maverick all-mountain and Bent freeride skis; Hawx boots in three volumes (Ultra 98 mm, Prime 100 mm and Magna 102 mm); and Strive bindings. Our Redster G9, S8 and X7 and the Cloud C14 are made in Austria. More about Atomic.
Faction
Faction was born in Verbier, Switzerland, in 2006, and 26/27 is its 20th season. It is owned by the Faction Collective, hundreds of riders, rather than a big group, and it is a Certified B Corp.
Eileen Gu rides Faction. At the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Faction riders won eight medals, including Gu's halfpipe gold. Her limited Prodigy 1 GU, with art by Ian McMullen, is built on the Prodigy 1.
We carry Prodigy all-mountain and park twin tips, Dancer piste skis sold as SYS packages with a Salomon binding, light Agent touring skis, Studio park skis and Faction poles. More about Faction.
Kästle
Anton Kästle founded the company in 1924 in Hohenems, in Austria's Vorarlberg, building skis from ash. Kästle skis won gold at the 1950 World Championships in Aspen, and the brand returned to the World Cup in 2019.
We carry the RX12 SL and RX9 piste carvers, sold as sets with the K12 TRI GW binding; the Quartz 72 women's piste ski; KP 2.0 boots with RYF, a reel closure that returns to the tension you saved (the K130P and K110P on a 96 mm last, the women's K105 Terra on 101 mm); and Kästle poles. Each Kästle product page shows its pre-order status. More about Kästle.
Which one is for you?
Start with how and where you ski, not the logo. Choose your boots first: our boot guide explains Mondo size and flex. Then get a length range from our ski length guide or the Find my length tool. Every brand we carry is on our brands page.
