i have skied on ALOT of different companies skis and lets say my factions are my favourite skis behind my thalls.
i have the faction kennedys in 181 and i ski park most of the time, they are super light weight and they feel like the perfect weight skis mounted with my fks 140's. they are pretty stiff but when you put force into the skis they are very playful. you can take these skis on pretty big jumps and feel totally safe. im onto my second season with them and they are holding up pretty nice. do recommend they are good skis that are very under rated. definitely pick up the wednesdays im pretty sure they are similar to the kennedys.
