2024 Faction Prodigy 2 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

[merpo]

Would this ski make a good all-mountain ski that can carve (groomers, and really steep stuff) that can also go in the park? Also, how would this prodigy 2 compare to the prodigy 1? Which one would better suit my need?

[rooskiroos]

How do these compare to the Revolts 95? I have a pair of Revolts now but they are a little too flexy and i have a hard time holding an edge on the steeper runs especially on the hard pack. Will the Prodigy perform better on groomers than the Revolts (stability/dampness/edge hold)? I would say I'm 65-70% on trail and the rest in the trees and park.

hello, do you recommend the faction prodigy 1, prodigy 2 or armada edollo for grooming, a little off-piste and a little park? I would like a ski that's a bit freestyle but that really handles the slopes and speeds well? thank you

Hi @SkiEssentials . I'm a quite big guy, around 185 cm and 100 kg (6'1" and 220 lbs) and been skiing on the Rossignol Sky 7 HD which I feel is a bit too soft.
I don't do much freestyle tricks but like playfyl riding with jumping and afternoon bumpy groomers and riding in the woods.
Do you think these could suit me or would I need a stiffer ski. Still prefer playness over the super fast speeds.

[JaxsonSobol]

Very torn between the armada Arv 94 or these factions I ski east coast and trails are rarely groomed however I do want to get better at park and I ride around 25% park 75% all mountain. Please help or leave any other suggestions I live on the east coast (PA) I also like to go as fast as possible 😅 I understand these are conflicting but I can only buy one ski. Thanks

I’m looking for a ski that is light and playful but can handle groomers because I live on the east coast. I like to hit small jumps and side hits but not big on the park so I’m looking for an all mountain ski that can do it all. Should I go for the prodigy 2 or the bent 90 or bent 100?

[christiangilbert]

Hey Skiessentials! I was wondering how these skis compare to Atomic's Bent 100s off piste and on groomers? Do they carve as well and do they ski bumps well? Thank you!

[TARiiiQmusic]

Hey guys what do you think would be better for all mountain stuff.. trees & bumps. These or the ARV 96?

[nemo.s]

would you recommend this as a all mountain ski that can also be used at the park? if not what’s a good all mountain ski? thanks

[HenryDundon]

Hello, I ski at a smaller resort in mi and I am wondering what would be ideal and necessary, I mainly ski park because that is big at my resort but I do enjoy skiing trees, and all mnt. I think the prodigy two seems better for what I want but I am wondering if it is necessary and if I would be fine with the prodigy 1

[dominicnewby]

When comparing to an arv 100 how would you compare the swing weight, flex and park performance despite the directional side cut?

[AndrewKelly-qkgz]

How do these compare to the bent 100? Also How is the long term durability of the Prodigy?

[mimishx]

Hellou, where should you mount the bindings ?? Progressive or something like -3cm from the true center

[MoriRazershark]

hello, im looking for a ski which is more oriented for on pist but also can handle of pist sessions and also can go in the park. 50% pist 30% of pist and 20% park. Is the prodigy 2 an good option for me? i also have my eyes on bent 90s?

[Easton-eg]

Would this ski be good for a light person around 135 lbs

[tidal]

is the tails on the prodigy 2 stiffer, as seen in more directional skis?

[alecpapanicolaou]

I'm 5'9" 160lbs. I'm an advanced/expert skier. I spend half my time in the park and the other half freeriding. Would you recommend the 171cm or the 177cm?

[timrestiau]

Im having doubts between the prodogy 2 and 3 i mostly ski groomers now with my carves but i want to get more into all mountain. I will still be using it for groomers a lot so wich one do you think will be better?

[connor]

which ski would you think is better for about 40 percent park and 60 percent groomers, and the occasional off piste, the armarda arv94, arv100 or the faction progidy 2. i am stuck on which one to buy

[DkoFX]

How do these compare to the mfree 99s? Im a little worried about the mfrees maybe being too short, is this a good alternative?
