Newschoolers' Review: The Candide 1.0 was a fun ski to rip around on the bluebird groomer I tested them at. From what I had heard I was expecting a stiff ski, and while it was solid under foot, the tip and tail had a nice amount of flex and pop. It moved quickly from edge to edge with a short-medium radius and d…
Newschoolers' Review: The ski of choice for most of the Faction Squad and with good reason, these things are loads of fun.

On Snow Comment: The Prodigy seems like a good option for a freestyle skier who likes to spend some time all over the mountain. It felt slightly stiffer than the Candide 1.0 with a little less pop, but held up a better on uneven terrain and did a better job powering through bumps. -Krotch Characteristics: Ultr…
