Faction Prime 3.0

Built with industry-leading design materials and construction techniques as a one ski quiver for the seasoned freerider who is always on the lookout for powder exploits.

Designed by our ski shaper patrik sannes alongside fwt athlete and uiagm guide sam anthamatten, the prime 3.0 is packed with industry-leading design materials and construction techniques, resulting in a ski that will give you a new perspective of what’s possible on your mountain escapes.

Built as a one ski quiver for the seasoned freerider who is always on the lookout for powder exploits, the prime 3.0, at a versatile and floaty 108mm underfoot, has a super-solid and strong ride despite its light weight, thanks to the use of textreme carbon laid-up strategically on a sturdy and lightweight hybrid core.

Whether you’re touring up through a high-altitude, bluebird landscape or charging down that premium, untouched couloir, the prime 3.0 is designed to exceed expectations. This ski has no limits.

HYBRID CORE: BALSA, FLAX, POPLAR
We reinforce the super lightweight Balsa with robust Flax fibres plus Poplar strips crreating a durable wood core that holds an edge like other skis twice its weight.

MULTI DIMENSION SIDECUT
This manoeuvrable shape consists of a shorter radius underfoot, keeping the ski nimble on those steep and narrow entries, and longer radii blended out to the tip and tail that ensure a stable and surfy feel when you’re flying out the bottom.

TEXTREME CARBON
Used in state of the art aeronautical engineering and deployed as a full layer of laminate in our skis. The weave is made up of thin strips that are resistant to even the smallest cracks and fissures - thinner, lighter and stronger than regular carbon.

PROGRESSIVE FLAT TAIL
Stable to ski at high speeds, playful and easy to initiate turns at lower speeds – this shape exceeds expectations.
