It would be a mistake to confine the Faction Prodigy 2 to a specific ski category. It’s difficult to classify, as it sits somewhere between an all-mountain ski and, thanks to its twin-tip design, can also shine in freestyle, particularly when it comes to switch skiing.
The Faction Prodigy 2 is undeniably a playful ski at a reasonable price. Its tail rise allows for easy switch skiing. All rotations are accessible, and landings are well-managed. Flat pivots and sliding/skidding turns come naturally and instantly.
Skier seeking curve performance from the Faction Prodigy 2 will be disappointed. When you engage the edge, it requires careful management of your ankle/knee/hip angles and pressure distribution. If your positioning is off, the ski may run straight and exhibit a clear tendency to skid out on the edge. The secret? Focus on the front and then move toward the tail without relying too much on the rear. The progression through the turn isn’t as smooth or clean as a “real” piste ski, and you’ll need to add some technique and finesse. For cut-edge turns, you need to be well-positioned. But this is not really the intended use of the Faction Prodigy 2. In an elevated stance, sliding and skidding, you can easily carve big, straight lines with no problem.
Its shovel and width make it effective in spring snow and soft, chopped-up conditions. It’s a lightweight ski.
An accessible ski for those looking to have fun in a freestyle mindset. Quick in pivots and playful. Not necessarily at ease on hard snow.
