The 2025 Faction Prodigy Capsule is an all-mountain twin designed for freestyle enthusiasts who split their time between the park and exploring the diverse terrain found all over the resort. Featuring an almost symmetrical twin shape and a robust wood core, the Prodigy 1 delivers precise handling in park, while also offering the versatility to tackle bumps, trees, and variable snow conditions, making it a truly capable all-arounder.

Why we like it:

The Prodigy 1 Capsule impresses with its versatile design and construction, appealing to a wide range of skiers – plus it’s got a unique cosmetic that really sets it apart.

Who it's for:

Intermediate and advanced park skiers looking for a playful, robust ski that excels not only in the park but all over the mountain as well.

Highlights:

The Prodigy 1 Capsule is a fresh take on 2024’s Prodigy 1X ski, though it remains largely unchanged for 2025: its Poplar and Ash wood core offers a versatile blend of energy and dampness for a stable yet lively feel. A full sidewall underfoot transitions to micro-cap construction at the tips and tails, ensuring excellent edge grip on hardpack. Ample camber provides the energy for quick edge-to-edge transitions, while a new for 2025 Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad underfoot reduces vibrations on big landings. The ski's tip and tail taper work in conjunction with the rocker profile to provide catch-free maneuverability, giving multi-directional skiers a lot to love.

Things to consider:

The Prodigy 1 Capsule is a park ski; while it absolutely has all-mountain capabilities, skiers who aren’t looking to venture into the park will be underutilizing all the features of this ski and would be better served by other options.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
