Overview
The 2027 Faction Prodigy 2 is a 98 mm freestyle all-mountain ski for resort skiers who want a twin that can leave the park without feeling out of place. Its waist is wide enough for soft snow and everyday bumps, while the directional twin shape keeps switch takeoffs, landings and groomer turns in its repertoire.
A poplar core supplies a light, springy platform, and the carbon-and-rubber reinforcement underfoot is intended to absorb impacts and vibration. The full-strength sidewalls and oversized edges suit repeated hard use. SkiEssentials testers found it playful and energetic across park laps, trees and mixed resort snow; the broad platform helps in softer conditions, while feedback on firm snow was less uniform. Its 7/10 flex rating suggests support without a notably demanding feel.
Choose the Prodigy 2 for a versatile freestyle daily driver if you value maneuverability, soft-snow reach and durable park construction. It is a good match for intermediate through expert skiers who use the whole resort and want to ski switch. For frequent icy carving, high-speed crud or deep days as the priority, a narrower, heavier or wider specialist will be more composed.
Construction & features
What the Prodigy 2 is built from, and what that means on snow.
- 01
Poplar core
Faction specifies a poplar core for a light, responsive flex with pop; it supports a lively feel for turns and freestyle use.
- 02
Carbon and rubber stomp pad
A carbon-and-rubber reinforcement beneath the binding area is designed to add strength while absorbing impacts and vibration from landings.
- 03
Full-strength sidewalls and XL edges
Full-height sidewalls transfer force to the edges, while oversized edges are intended to withstand repeated impacts and hard use.
- 04
Directional twin shape
The raised tail supports switch skiing and freestyle takeoffs while preserving a more forward-oriented feel than a symmetrical twin.
- 05
Elliptical sidecut
A longer sidecut radius underfoot combines with shorter radii toward the tip and tail, helping the ski initiate and vary turns.
- 06
Flat ski
Bindings are sold separately; the listed ski weight excludes binding hardware.
