The Faction Prodigy 3 Capsule skis are a playful, surfy pow ski that performs exceptionally well in a broad range of conditions and terrain. The Elliptical Sidecut works in combination with the rocker and camber profile, delivering a smooth and intuitive ride that effortlessly transitions from precise carving to fluid buttering. Skiers who are looking to expand their horizons and progress their skills with a capable all mountain/powder ski will love the Prodigy 3.

Why we like it:

Versatility is the name of the game here, and we love how intuitive and capable the Prodigy 3 is.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to expert skiers looking for a versatile powder ski that has a surfy, playful feel. This would make a great one ski quiver for skiers who live where the snow is consistently refreshed.

Highlights:

A lightweight Poplar core provides the foundation for the Prodigy 3, giving the ski a poppy and energetic feel, as well as a stiffer flex underfoot and softer flexing tips and tails. This flex pattern allows for grip on firm snow when it’s needed, yet provides a buttery feel in the tips and tails for flotation and forgiveness in deep snow. Thanks to a tapered shape and a highly rockered profile, maneuverability is top-notch, giving progressing and expert skiers alike the confidence to charge through varied or technical terrain. Extra-thick 2.5 mm edges give the Prodigy 3 durability for lap after lap of fun, and you can thank artist and freerider Elsa Grace for the super unique top sheet design.

Things to consider:

The Prodigy 3 has a bit of park influence in its design and build, but at 106mm underfoot, its preferred terrain is soft snow and powder, so those looking for a dedicated park ski will find better options out there.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
