The 2025 Faction Studio 1 is an athlete inspired park specific twin tip that blends lightweight spring with rigid power. Mixing precision and park playfulness, the Studio 1 is the choice for many slopestyle competitors and freestyle enthusiasts alike. Freestyle skiers who need a powerful and dependable twin for the biggest tricks and heaviest landings will find lots to like with the Studio 1.

Why we like it:

We always appreciate an athlete driven ski and the Studio 1 is certainly an example of that. With Faction being one of the driving forces in freestyle skiing, their athletes are surely great resources to produce a ski that is perfectly suited for freestyle applications. The burly yet supple build with rubber stomp pad underfoot showcase the skis’ desire for airtime and big hits.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert freestyle skiers who seek a precise and powerful twin tip for competition and park specific applications.

Highlights:

Starting off with a poplar and ash woodcore, the Studio 1 is light weight but sturdy and springy for maximum support and pop. Carbon stringers boost the rebound potential for maximum energy off jumps and lips. A Carbon/Rubber Stomp pad underfoot gives some relief on big landings as well as dampen vibrations. XL 2.5 mm Edges increase durability for long lasting performance. A symmetrical twin shape allows equal performance in either direction of skiing and provides an intuitive freestyle feel for all sorts of maneuvers in the park.

Things to consider:

The Studio 1 is squarely a park specific twin tip that does not have a lot of versatility when it comes to all-mountain performance. Its symmetrical shape, freestyle oriented flex pattern, and park centered technology make it less suited for resort exploration.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size.
