In short

Find the pow with the Faction La Machine, a must-have free-touring tool for the true backcountry aficionados. With dual carbon layers, La Machine is ultra-light for efficient trekking capability. Pair this feather-weight character with a soft flex pattern and a slightly exaggerated rocker profile, and the result is dream float on the dream day, as well as effortless pivoting and smearing in mixed conditions. The eco-conscious construction – including the bio-based resin, recycled materials, and sustainable wood core – complete the package, because Faction knows you care deeply about preserving wild spaces as much as you love playing in them. La Machine Mega boasts a versatile package for ample flotation on the deepest of days and nimble handling when the weather’s high and dry. Its progressive, rockered shape allows for hook-free pivoting and surfing across any & all snow you may encounter on your ski-touring adventures.

In detail

Rocker Camber Rocker
The ski is easy to turn thanks to a rise in both the tip and the tail. Due to the camber under the foot, the waist of the ski provides grip on harder snow. Skis with this type of profile like to be skied from a more centred stance..


Twin Tip Shape
The ski has a tip on both sides to help with backwards skiing and easy tail release.


Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut consists of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot allows for faster and easier pivoting, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail results in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions.


Woodcore
The core consists of specifically selected wood types that are laminated in different compositions into a solid core. This gives the designers control over all the characteristics of the ski.


Carbon
Carbon is added as a reinforcement to the core. Carbon is light, strong and durable.


Binding Plate
Lightweight reinforcement plates are laid up on top of the lightweight core to improve binding retention. A one-piece design fits alpine and touring bindings, adding trustworthy durability to lightweight cores.


Sidewall Construction
A PU layer that seals the layered ski construction on the side and adds strength. Skis with a sidewall construction are generally more stable at speed, livelier and more durable.


Faction Mounting Guide
The Faction Collective mounting point recommendation: a subtle difference in mounting position can greatly enhance your skiing experience.
