Faction Prodigy 2 Capsule 2026

Faction Prodigy 2 Capsule 2025/2026 Alpine Skis The Faction Prodigy 2 Capsule is engineered as an all‑mountain ski with park‑inspired DNA. With a 98 mm waist width and directional twin‑tip profile, it offers a versatile ride capable of tackling groomers, mixed terrain, and freestyle terrain with equal confidence. Its lightweight poplar wood core provides a balanced flex and natural pop, making buttering, carving, and jumping feel lively yet controlled. The ski’s profile and construction make it ideal for skiers who want a single setup that can handle everything from carving and hardpack to playful freestyle moves.

Key Features:

Waist Width:

98 mm – versatile width for carve control on groomers and stability across mixed terrain.

Shape:

Directional Twin Tip – allows for forward skiing with strong downhill performance while enabling switch and freestyle riding. Sidecut: Elliptical Sidecut – long radius underfoot with shorter tip & tail radii for quick turn initiation and varied turn shapes.

Core:

Lightweight Poplar Wood – provides a lively, poppy flex for butters and jumps and reliable torsional stability for carving. Laminates / Damping: Carbon & Rubber Stomp Pad – absorbs vibration and impact on jumps or rough landings for smoother and more durable performance.

Edges:

XL 2.5 mm Steel Edges – 25% thicker than standard, giving added durability and grip, especially on hard snow or in park use. Flex Pattern: “Mustache Flex” – stable underfoot for edge hold, with progressive flex in tip and tail for smoother turn transition and absorption. Rocker/Camber/Rocker Profile:

Rockered tips and tails with cambered midsection – helps with turn initiation, float in softer snow, and edge hold on firm snow. Performance & Feel: Prodigy 2 Capsule skis deliver a balanced ride that mixes all‑mountain reliability with freestyle flexibility. On groomers and hardpack the 98 mm waist and strong edges enable confident carving and edge hold. When you switch to park, freestyle or mixed terrain, the poplar core and stomp pad give enough pop, stability and dampening for jumps, butters, and switch riding. The shape and rocker profile ensure easy turn initiation and smooth transitions — a ride that feels playful yet controlled.

Ideal For:

Intermediate to advanced skiers who want one ski capable of handling nearly any situation — carving groomers, resort all‑mountain runs, occasional park or freestyle laps. Especially suitable for those who like to mix carving, butters, jumps, and playful riding without switching skis. Also a great choice for riders who want a “do‑it‑all” ski rather than separate park and resort skis.

Things to Consider:

Because of its flex and 98 mm waist, the ski may not deliver ideal float in deep powder compared to dedicated powder skis. As it leans toward all‑mountain freestyle versatility rather than a true symmetrical park ski, it might not satisfy riders seeking a dedicated, center‑mounted, full‑park oriented setup. Bindings are not included — you should choose bindings with a brake width within ~15 mm of the 98 mm waist for proper setup.
