Why We Like The Faction La Machine Mega Ski
Light enough to tour but stable enough to charge, the Faction La Machine Mega Ski is our go-to choice for skiing big lines deep in the backcountry. The lightweight feel of these skis is provided by the carbon fiber laminates and paulownia core. To make sure we feel confident on the way down these skis boast and easily controllable turn radius paired with a float-happy combination of rocker in the tip and tail as well as a flat section underfoot.

I’m super impressed how slashy and playful the Machine 3 is in soft snow and powder. It holds a laser tight secure edge on the steep exposed lines. When I know we’re going for soft snow, from sunrise to sunset, where no one else has been, I throw the Machine 3 in the truck.
