### Product Description 

Prodigy skis offer a soft and playful feel through their light wooden core while remaining stiff enough to handle big air. If you're primarily a freeride skier, these are a perfect match. Prodigy skis feature a Carbon Stomp Pad; this carbon reinforcement underfoot adds extra strength to the most important area of a freestyle ski. This reinforcement underfoot also increases stability and adds vibration absorption under your boots. According to Faction, the poplar/beech core creates a pretty light ski that has great grip and feels snappy between turns, while maintaining a flex “soft enough to pop, slash and butter all over the mountain.” Lastly, Prodigy skis feature the thickest edge offered by Faction, the XL 2.5MM edges, so you’ll be able to really dig in when you’re carving.

### Expert Notes

Faction has been flying under the radar for quite a while; that is, until Candide Thovex came out with videos capturing the ridiculous lines he was skiing on them. Specifically, the Prodigy is built to be your daily park ski, bust is also designed to stand up against competition-style skiing. With lots of rocker in both the tips and tail, and with camber underfoot, the Prodigy is a modern jib ski that can also hold its own on groomers. Don’t expect to jump from arc to arc on these, but you can still flow nicely without feeling out of control at speed. If you’re looking for a designated park ski -- but still find yourself peak hopping -- the Prodigy is a solid option.

### Product Description

Volkl Mantra is an all-mountain ski capable of carving on piste at high speeds, floating through powder, and cutting through crud. Completely redesigned in 2019, the Volkl Mantra M5 changed from a fully rockered profile to having a camber underfoot. which makes this version more capable of blasting through crud and ripping on hardpack. The sidecut was also increased in 2019 for a shorter turn radius with more energy and pop. The Titanal Frame Technology keeps these skis smooth and stable no matter what your speed is. The P-Tex 2100 Base provides great gliding characteristics and increases the overall durability of the skis. The Multi-layer woodcore -- constructed from a mix of beech and poplar -- keeps these skis lightweight and poppy. The Volkl Mantra has long been crowned the “Crud King,” and the ability to absorb the impact of skiing through the crud is a trademark of a true all mountain ski.


### Expert Notes

The Mantra has been a household name for years now. Currently on the third generation of the Mantra, Volkl has essentially perfected the design for this line of skis. The original Mantra – pre-2015 – was best at ripping on hard snow, but still held its own off piste. The second generation Mantras – 2015-2018 – changed up some bits and pieces and moved away from its hard snow capabilities and more towards being a back country ski. We’d argue that it may have shifted a little too much, and was no longer a great option for hard pack. The newest generation – The M5 – has taken steps back toward the original Mantra and combines the best of both worlds. Whether it’s blasting through crud, ripping groomers, or floating in the backcountry, these latest Mantras can handle it all.
