The vast majority of freeride days aren’t super deep but put a ski through a number of trials involving terrain, variable snow, vegetation and the like – meaning while they need a fair amount of floatation, maneuverability and quickness edge to edge are also big factors. The 112mm waisted Faction Studio 3 Skis were born for this job, with the perfect width and camber profile backed by the liveliness provided by Carbon Stringers. Ideal as a daily driver in tough terrain and uncertain snow or as a comp ski, the Studio 3 awaits your call.

Rocker Type

Rocker – Camber – Rocker

Flex

Flex Rating– 7 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)

Core

Lightweight Poplar Wood Core

Laminates

Full Carbon Weave– Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.

Carbon Rubber Stomp Pad– For extra absorption on those huge hits.

Sidewalls

Full Strength Sidewall– A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet.

Base

Sintered UHMW Base

Edges

XL 2.5mm Edges– Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The2.5mm edges add an extra 25% of height to Faction’s standard 2mm edge, making for a stronger and more durable ski.

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain: Big Mountain, Powder Big MountainBig mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. PowderThese skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius: Long Long> 22 m radius is best for powder and big-mountain.

Core/Laminates: Carbon, Wood

Tail Type: Partial Twin Tip Partial Twin TipPartial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
