2026 New Faction Prodigy 3 Capsule skis; Size: 178

Built with a Directional Twin shape, and Elliptical Sidecut, it’s your tool for mastering any terrain—pow or packed. Intuitive, balanced, and built to last, the Prodigy 3 Capsule is the playful all-mountain quiver-killer for skiers ready to own a favorite freeride line, nail natural features and float to greatness with a 106 mm waist. The 2026 Faction Prodigy 3 is a versatile all-mountain freestyle ski designed for intermediate to expert skiers who view the entire mountain as a playground. It features a 106mm waist, a playful directional twin-tip shape, and a responsive poplar wood core that excels in both soft powder and firm, variable conditions.
