The 2025 Faction Prodigy is a freestyle oriented all-mountain twin for skiers who want to spend just as much time in the park as they do exploring the rest of the mountain. With an almost-symmetrical twin shape and a heavy duty wood core, the Prodigy 1 has the strength to deliver precise handling in the park as well as the versatility to play in bumps, trees, and any other terrain you can find.

Why we like it:

The Faction Prodigy 1 has a highly useful shape and build and checks a lot of boxes for a broad range of skiers.

Who it's for:

Intermediate and advanced park skiers who want the versatility to explore beyond the park.

Highlights:

The Prodigy 1 returns mostly unchanged for 2025. It starts with a core made from Poplar and Ash wood, which provides energy and dampness, making the ski feel lively yet stable. A full sidewall underfoot transitions to micro-cap construction in the tips and tails for great edge grip on firm snow, and thanks to a generous amount of camber, the Prodigy 1 pops quickly and seamlessly from edge to edge. The all-new carbon/rubber Stomp Pad underfoot helps to mitigate vibrations when landing big hits, and a fairly dramatic taper in the tip and tail works in conjunction with the rocker to provide catch-free takeoffs and landings for ultimate multi-directional fun.

Things to consider:

Despite its versatility, the Prodigy 1 is first and foremost a park ski, so if you’re a directional skier who doesn’t venture into the park, there are other options that will better suit your needs.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
