Faction Prodigy 1 Capsule Skis — Directional Twin Built to Last

The Prodigy 1 Capsule is a park-savvy, firm-snow specialist that still rips around the rest of the mountain. Its directional-twin shape rides switch with confidence, while a medium-stiff flex (7/10) keeps things precise on hardpack and stable on landings. Artwork by Elsa Grace turns heads in the lift line; durability under the hood keeps you lapping long after the hype fades.

Why you’ll love it

• Snap, edge hold, and control — A Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile (approx. 290 mm tip / 3 mm camber / 230 mm tail @ 164 cm) blends easy turn initiation with real bite underfoot, so you can lock in on rails and carve clean on corduroy.

• Turn what you want — Elliptical Sidecut uses a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii at the tip and tail for quick pivots, smooth carves, and flexible mounting options.

• Built for impact — A Poplar & Ash wood core delivers pop with backbone, backed by a Carbon-Rubber Stomp Pad to absorb harsh landings. XL 2.5 mm heat-treated steel edges and a sintered UHMW base bring serious longevity and speed.

Best for

Park & all-mountain riders (intermediate to advanced) who want a lively directional twin that grips on firm snow, pops off side-hits, and shrugs off daily abuse.
