Poplar/Ash Core
Poplar is a light, durable softwood known for its flex, pop, and excellent vibration absorption. Ash, a heavier hardwood, adds stiffness and durability. Together as a duo, they offer great hold on hard snow, a solid base for landings, and enough pop and flex for creative maneuvers.
Recycled Materials
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.
Locally Sourced Materials
To reduce the impact of our production supply chain, we strive to source materials from European companies that are based close our factories. Reduce distance, reduce emissions, reduce impact.
Sustainable Wood Cores
Our poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near our European factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances.
Full Strength Sidewall
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.
Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.
Mustache Flex
The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
High Resistance Topsheet
We use the highest quality topsheet material available, and we test it rigorously to ensure it stands up to regular abuse. Sourced near our factories in Europe for a friendlier supply chain

Skis Size Guide
Find your size with our expert advice video:
As explained in our video guide above, choosing the right ski length depends on a mix of different factors. On a basic level, height, weight and ability should give you a good idea of what length of ski you should go for.
As a rule of thumb, start with a ski around nose to eyebrow level height.
If you are just starting out, or at an intermediate level, then we suggest that you take some length off. If you’re a more advanced/expert skier, then we suggest you should push your ski length towards your full height or even further. If you are heavier than the average weight for your size, feel free to add some ski length as well.
Ski Size Charts:

| 135 | 4'5 | 120-135 | |
| 140 | 4'7 | 130-140 | |
| 145 | 4'9 | 135-145 | |

Go towards the lower end of our suggested range if:
- You’re a beginner or an intermediate looking to progress quickly.
- You want to make even quicker, shorter turns more easily.
- You will spend most of your time on hard snow.
- You have a cool head and like to keep the revs down.
- You’re so tall, none of our skis are long enough for you.
Go towards the higher end of our suggested range if:
- You ski pedal to the metal
- You’re skiing fast and aggressively in off-piste conditions.
- You weigh more than average for your height
- You plan to do most of your skiing off-piste
- You want to look like a FWT athlete in the lift line

description
There's nothing "junior" about the premium quality and construction of the Faction Prodigy 1 Grom. This is a kids all-mountain freestyle twin tip ski built for capable young skiers and comes packed with many of the same tech features seen in the Prodigy 1. The poplar and beech wood core provides loads of energy and dampening for high-speed carving and big-jump-stomping; the elliptic sidecut and smooth rocker help prevent hooking the ski's edge; and the full-strength sidewall, tip & tail cap, and 2.2 mm edges work together to put durability front and center.
You'll love this ski if:
- You want to hit the park
- You want a ski that is fun and easy to ride, perfect for progressing new tricks
- You want a strong wood core for big pop on jumps, and smooth skiing at high speeds
- You want the same ski as the Faction pros use with the same quality materials, in a smaller size
