2019 Faction Candide 3.0.... What's Anyone's Opinion Who Owns These

[TommyT]

Hey all, seriously considering this ski as I've seen a few people riding them at Squaw. I, 6'3" 210 currently ride the Backland 102's, advanced front side, intermediate and slightly timid in the steep and deep. Wanting to go a little rider given our heavier snow conditions in Tahoe. Wanting to get better in Powder this year. Would everyone agree this is a good choice? Anything recommended over these?

Thanks in advance

If your that big don't get these, go with a prodigy if you're stuck on faction. I'm 6'1 230 and had a tough experience with them...

are you talking the 18/19 model? or the 19/20 model? the 1920 is an all-new design, being built at an all-new manufacturing partner

Candide 3.0’s are tied with surface nine life’s for most broken pairs of skis I’ve ever seen. One of my homies went through two pairs in less than 3 months. It’s a really fun and light ski, but the durability just ain’t there...
