I have the faction 3.zero for pow days but i just moved to wanaka for the ski season and am wanting to leave those in rado and get onto some faction skis for just park and jibbing/buttering around at cardies.
I'm a girl, 5'2", 110, 3+ skier
I tend to like guy's skis for their stiffness. My last skis were both guys - 163 for park and 175 for pow but I keep trying to decide whether girls skis and/or shorter skis would be better.
All this said, I can't decide between the -168 Wednesday-158 or 168 Heroine (girl's version of Wednesday)-163 Kennedy-163 Aria (girl's version of Kennedy)
Has anyone skied on one or more of these or just have a good idea of what would be best? Any help would be super appreciated. +k for sure
 
Aria looks like the preferred ski for you. Nice n lite go for whichever one has a deal on it between the Kennedys and the Aria if there is any difference guessing there would be since hardly any Ladys buy up big on em.
 
My friend got a pair of the Heroines this season. She loves them, she uses them for just casual skiing though, nothing special. It would make a great all mountain ski if you wanted to get some soft stuff in. Since you have the 3.zeros however; the Arias would be more ideal for you, generally since you want a jibby ski for playing around with.
 
just chiming in to say that I wish faction had a larger north american following, ive never seen any of their skis in person anywhere other then a few at whistler
 
they are pretty underrated, which sucks. There is a shop in Golden (Kicking Horse) that deals them. So they are a common ski there. Along with them having a rider based out of Golden/Pemberton (Tessa Treadway).

I always get excited when I see them on other hills. Such a friendly/awesome company.
 
I ski the wednesdays and they are the best skis ive ever skiid on. However, i would reccomend giving the heroines ago before going on to the wednesdays as the heriones are a bit softer and more forgiving
 
sweet...so are the wednesdays your park ski or do you have another pair? i'm just between the heroines and the arias now but if the wednesdays/heroines can handle park day-in and day-out, as well as some other terrain, i'd probably go that way..
thanks for the feedback guys
