2026 Faction Prodigy 1 Capsule Skis

The 2026 Faction Prodigy 1 Capsule is designer Elsa Grace’s take on the all-mountain twin tip that’s built for skiers who blend park laps with creative line choices across the mountain. It shares the same construction as the standard Prodigy 1 but stands apart with its unique cosmetic, making it a standout choice for skiers who value both performance and style.

Why we like it:

All the versatility and power of the Prodigy 1 wrapped in a limited-edition look. What’s not to like? It’s built to go everywhere, with a flex and shape that make it equally confident on hardpack and in the air.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to advanced freestyle-focused skiers who want a dependable, creative twin tip that feels at home in the terrain park but is far from limited to it.

Highlights:

At its core is the familiar Poplar and Ash wood blend, providing solid edge grip and a balanced mix of pop and dampness. Camber underfoot delivers quick energy transfer, while rocker in the tip and tail gives it the ability to release easily and pivot through varied terrain. A full sidewall underfoot transitions to micro-cap tips and tails for durability and smoother handling in the air. The integrated Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad underfoot improves shock absorption on landings and rougher snow, while the symmetrical twin shape ensures a centered, predictable feel whether skiing forward or switch.

Things to consider:

The Capsule edition is still rooted in park and freestyle use, so directional skiers focused on high-speed carving or more traditional all-mountain performance may not fully benefit from its centered mount and twin tip shape. Its strengths lie in creativity and flow, not raw power.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These skis run true to size. Stick with your regular length for the most balanced ride, or size down slightly for quicker spins and agility in tight terrain.
