Why do I never hear anything about faction skis. All I know about them is that they make sick movies. Are they good skis tho?

I have Prodigy 1.0s. Didn't have the negative experience most people have had with durabilty. They're pretty beat now and a heelpiece ripped out but they do have around 300 days on them. The edges had like 30 cracks in them pretty early on but I was doing some heavy rail skiing. They're my favourite park skis I've used.

yes they are good
i have had the prodigys since dec of 2022 and they work great probably have 150 days on them and i ski park in midwest with a rope tow but unfortunately they just started delaminating about a month ago but other than that they have been the best skis i have ever used just a little stiff tho.

I like them, I’ve had 2 pairs but that’s the only skis I’ve ever had. My 21/22’s lost a few inches of edge because they put the Ptex FACTION on the base right under the boot so there was a thin strip of border around it that fell off after about 50 days. My 22/23’s are fine, but the topshield on both pairs is coming off, they look pretty beat up but still work well. I’m looking at a pair of Studio 1’s next.
