Faction La Machine 5 Skis 2025

FACTION SKIS LA MACHINE 5 SKIS 2025

La Machine debuted in 2020 as the fattest ski in the Faction line-up. The original shape is mirrored here in the La Machine 5, and the ski now benefits from eco-conscious tech. This ultra-light, carbon-loaded ski is the backcountry powder-hound's dream. Its progressive and ultra-rockered shape will have you floatin’ like the yacht of your dreams, along the deepest backcountry runs you can search out.

FEATURES

• Full Strength Sidewall, for the best-possible edge hold and protection of the wood core
• 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 tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions
• Anti-Chip Micro Cap protects the tips and tails from wear and tear
• The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you
• Extended tip and tail rocker + reverse camber, for optimal float in soft snow, and effortless turn initiation and smearing in variable conditions
• Two full-length sheets of Carbon Fiber sandwich the wood core, for a lightweight yet responsive and torsionally rigid ski
