Faction Prodigy 1 Capsule Skis (26/27)

The Prodigy 1 Capsule lives in the world of small creatures in summer's long, warm grasses. Featuring an elliptical sidecut, these skis offer effortless turn initiation at any speed, while full strength sidewalls deliver exceptional edge hold. It features a unique construction of a poplar wood and ash wood core, and a carbon/rubber stomp pad to absorb vibrations, making your ride and creative expression smoother and more sure-footed than ever. You'll land everything you dreamed of in the other warmer 6 months.

About the Prodigy series

For the final chapter of her Prodigy Capsule residency, artist Elsa Grace turns towards the warmer moments in life that stick with us through winter's deep cold. This collection continues her theme of memories and motifs into movement. Grace draws from botanical refuges and sensory touchstones: the snap of citrus skin, the chilled pace of summer afternoons, the hidden wildlife of tall grass fields. She drew from antique tilework for this collection, preserving these pieces of warmth like specimens under glass. These skis carry a reminder that the seasons we miss are never far from reach, as we push our abilities in freeskiing on this legendary ski series.
