Faction Mana 2
Faction
Dubbed an all-mountain twin tip by the brand, Faction’s Mana 2 is designed to take you all over the mountain—from the back side to the park—sans compromise. An ultra-lightweight poplar wood core keeps the ski light and playful, ready to pop off any booter or side hit, while a carbon and rubber stomp pad underfoot absorbs vibration, keeping the ride smooth and confident, no matter the speed or conditions. “This ski felt right at home in pockets of soft snow up high and performed really well in mixed mid-mountain conditions,” writes tester Eric Gerrmann. “The stiffer tip and tail and softer mid-section allowed for maximum versatility and fun.” If you tend to ski the same setup no matter the day, terrain or snowpack, Faction’s Mana 2 will get the job done and have a damn good time doing it.
