Faction Skis Chapter 116 Ski

While your buddy's metal layered, point it and go skis are the equivalent of serious literature, Faction's Chapter 116 Ski is more of a choose your own adventure plank. With a rockered tip and tail, and generous 116mm waist, it'll start its story off by surfing pristine pow and slamming turns in untouched bowls, but the sturdy sandwich construction and pre stressed STP core technology give it enough backbone to rally down groomers and bust through crud when the day's story takes a sudden turn for the firm. Low camber underfoot gives the Chapter some extra bite on hardpack, and the poplar and beech core stays poppy and quick with some tough fiberglass laminates giving it extra snap and stability for big airs and solid stomps. Faction pressed the Chapter with its rocker and camber blending Transition Zones for a super smooth feel and progressive turn initiation, and it finished the board off with a fast and tough P Tex 4000 base with steel edges, so the inevitable rocks and logs that you'll ding won't put an end to your session.
