Morning gents, looking to change up from my Armada Arv 96s. I really don't ski much park anymore but I am very playful on the mountain. I ski a lot of trees and powder when I can. I ski fast and aggressively. really like getting on the edges. I like the look of factions so I am thinking about making the switch. Which model do you think works for me? I am 6'1" 190 pounds.

If you are dead set on faction due to them looking cool and like to ski fast and playful I would get a CT 3.0 190 length.

After looking at faction I am starting to think its not for me. I looked back at the Armada line this morning and the Declivity 102 TI looks perfect for me. My park days are over maybe its time for a directional ski. I REALLY like what that ski offers.

I had a bit of a epiphany. I have had a symmetrical ski since I was a freshmen in HS have always been a park rat. These days I rip groomers, trees, and chase powder. Its time for a real skiing ski.

Faction's whole line-up are directional skis. The only symeterical skis they had were the Previous gen. CT1.0 and CT2.0

The 2021 Prodigy 3.0 may worth a look if you are set on Faction.

What faction skis in current and next year stuff if I lIke flex and feel of ct2.0 with black and gold top sheet but not a true twin?


today I hand flexed current ct2.0. I have a fear that I won’t be able to make any butter on such a stiff ski.

CT 5.0 no doubt. It actually makes you ski like candide. you may think its too fat but you'd be wrong.
