Help!! Really need to buy a new pair of skis that are for freestyle/park skiing and I was planning on buying either Faction CT 1.0, Idiom or Ambit (women's ski). Just wanted to know more about peoples experiences with Faction skis.

My first day on the Candide 1.0's was a few day's ago and I love them so far!

I have owned the 1.0s for a season now, and don't think I'll be buying any other brand/model of ski in the new future. I like everything about the ski, durability, flex, weight. theirs no better ski on the market in my opinion. Highly recommended

Definitely look into faction. I currently ski on the idioms and they are awesome in every way. Stable on jumps while still being able to tail press down the whole hill. Swaps and spinning are done with ease.

Guys, today I first time closer look on Faction skis in shop.

Some of them have text on top sheet like: "designed in Switzerland"

But all skis haven't got text with country of manufacturing.

Seller said to me that it is because probably all Faction skis are made in China.

Is it true?

all faction skis are designed in Switzerland (factions verbier office). Pretty sure manufacturing is in a European factory and your seller is talking crap

Hi

Yes, your are right and I agree with you, because I just recieved official answer from Faction about country and factory of manufacturing:

Hey Konstantin,

Thanks for getting in touch and showing an interest in Faction skis.

Unfortunately I can't give you precise information as we like to keep things top secret!

We make all of our skis within the EU at several different factories.

Hope this helps!
