2026 Faction Studio 2 Skis

The Faction Studio 2 is a versatile freeride all mountain ski that brings a freestyle attitude to all zones of the mountain. A soft snow specialist and creative connoisseur, the Studio 2 provides the perfect platform for individual expression on snow. A sturdy flex pattern offers skiers with a more aggressive style to push the limits of their capabilities while their easy to turn nature keeps them playful for lively park and freestyle skiers.

Why we like it:

Sturdy and stable with a turny nature is the perfect recipe for freestyle skiers who are looking for a wider, more all mountain freeride ski.

Who it's for:

Advanced to expert freestyle skiers who seek a wider freeride all mountain ski that provides a supportive flex but familiar and playful shape to take their skills to all portions of the mountain.

Highlights:

The Studio 2 features a lightweight yet robust poplar and ash woodcore, providing excellent support and springiness. Carbon stringers enhance rebound for powerful energy release during jumps and on lips. A Carbon/Rubber Stomp pad beneath the foot cushions hard landings and reduces vibrations. XL 2.5 mm Edges ensure extended durability for sustained performance over seasons of abuse. Its symmetrical twin shape enables consistent performance in both skiing directions and delivers a natural freestyle feel, ideal for various maneuvers in the park.

Things to consider:

The Studio 2 is a freestyle oriented freeride ski with a fairly symmetrical shape, so directional freeriders may want to consider a directional ski in this category. Although the Studio 2 is sturdy and stable, it does not use metal for vibration damping and torsional stiffness, so if you are an especially aggressive skier who prefers a damp ski with loads of edge grip, there are other skis in this category with more performance in those characteristics.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size.
