All-new for 2019-20, the Faction Prodigy 2.0 2020 seamlessly merges functionality and style, focusing on promoting progression in an easy-to-ski, all-mountain package. At first glance, the topsheets—created by Paris, France-based Parade Studio and inspired by “iconic music media”—certainly turn heads. Beyond looks, however, this ski offers a lightweight, playful poplar wood core and directional twin tip construction, which are complemented by an elliptical-radius sidecut. The combination of these features allows riders to take control of the size, shape and angle of every turn, and still ride switch without a problem. Feel free to Dance Yrself Clean on these badass sticks.

FREESKIER tester thoughts:

“Rip it and grip it. Forgiving and responds well, just like what you want in a boyfriend.”

“Great tool for buttery turns, slashes and ripping through mogul fields.”
