Description
The Faction Prodigy 3 Capsule ski is a twin-tip backcountry freestyle ski, designed for riding off-piste, powder, the edges of the slopes, and road gaps, featuring a poplar core that maintains pop and a double rocker that facilitates direction changes on varied terrain. This Capsule edition features artwork by Elsa Grace, built on the same construction as the Prodigy 3.
What is the Faction Prodigy 3 Capsule ski designed for?
With a 106 mm waist, it floats effortlessly in powder and remains stable when the snow becomes variable or slushy. The double rocker allows the ski to lift off the snow quickly and makes turns feel natural on untracked terrain. The classic camber in the center maintains grip on hard snow and provides a boost when exiting turns. The 2.5 mm XL edges, 35% thicker than standard edges, grip well on hard snow and offer better impact resistance. The carbon/rubber stomp pad absorbs vibrations upon landing, whether on a rail or after a jump.
Who is the Faction Prodigy 3 Capsule ski designed for?
This ski is designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who are already technically comfortable and want to express themselves across the entire mountain—on the piste, off-piste, in powder, and on slushy snow—while progressing in backcountry freestyle on a single ski. The twin tail makes riding switch accessible without making it a requirement.

Versatility

Durability
Is the Prodigy 3 Capsule comfortable when riding switch?
Yes. The raised tail and directional twin shape are designed to make riding switch accessible, without the ski losing its directional character when riding forward.
Is the Prodigy 3 Capsule stable upon landing after a jump?
Yes. The carbon/rubber stomp pad underfoot absorbs impacts and vibrations upon landing, which improves comfort and protects the wood core over time.
Can the Prodigy 3 Capsule be used on groomed runs?
Yes, occasionally. The classic camber in the center and the 2.5 mm XL edges give it solid grip on hard snow. But this ski is designed for off-piste and backcountry freestyle—the trail is just a means of getting there, not its main destination.
Are the Prodigy 3 Capsule’s edges resistant to rails and impacts?
Yes. The 2.5 mm XL edges are significantly thicker than standard edges. They better absorb the impact from rails and landings on hard snow, which extends the ski’s lifespan during aggressive freestyle riding.
