Name your line, call in sick on a pow day, and grab the Faction La Machine Mega Skis to snag those tracks first. Freetouring is a real thing these days, never mind the old school Euros who dismiss anyone with a touring binding on a ski wider than 95mm. You know the score, when it’s hip deep and falling is not an option, those narrow planks just don’t cut it. Get a 109mm waist, some serious rocker, and an ultralight carbon-Paulownia design with the La Machine Mega and leave those dudes floundering.

Rocker Type
      Â
   Rocker-Moderate Camber-Rocker–        Tip Rocker: 172 = 400mm, 178 = 410mm, 184 = 420mm  |  Tail Rocker: 172 = 230mm, 178 = 249mm, 184 = 250mm
      Â
Flex
      Â
   Flex Rating–        6 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
      Â
      Â
   Mustache Flex–        This flex works best for most skiers. Enjoy stability in front of and behind the binding area to provide solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris on the mountain. This flex allows for an easier turn initiation and finish.
      Â
Sidecut
      Â
   Elliptical Sidecut–        Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski.The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tailresult in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mountingpositions.
      Â
Shape
      Â
   Tip Height–        67mm
      Â
      Â
   Tail Height–        34mm
      Â
Core
      Â
   Lightweight Sustainable Paulownia Wood Core
      Â
Laminates
      Â
   Full Carbon Weave–        Between 8 and 12 strips of carbon, sandwiching either side of the ski’s woodcore, are laid unidirectionally, providing extra stability to the ski, without adding weight to the build. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass to provide strength and stiffness in the full length of the ski.

   Phenol Binding Reinforcement Plate
      Â
Sidewalls
      Â
   Microcap Full Strength Sidewall–        Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight,durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold andtorsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile jointthat can be prone to chipping.

-    Terrain:    Big Mountain, Alpine Touring                                    Big MountainBig mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.                    Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.           Â
