Skis similar to the 2019 Faction CT 2.0

[joacovicda]

I have the 2019 Candides 2.0 and they're pretty beaten up, since they are the best skis I've had I'm looking for something similar, suggestions are appreciated (I also like the line sakanas, they look like a ton of fun but I'm not sure if they're exactly what I want or need)

The mana from faction is basically the same ski now, just without the candide branding

Was the 2019 the really light one that was moderately stiff and had a propensity to snap just behind the heel piece?

They updated that ski so frequently it's hard to keep track of which was which.

I've heard they're stiffer, but yea, it's just that no one sells them

they fit the description but not the snapping part haha, the problem w mine is that the edges are tearing down

Killer deal on the replacement, but the CT 2.0's got stiffer in 2021 or 2022 (Black w/ red stripe) when they added the titanium underfoot, and these are essentially the same as those... stiffer than the 2019's for sure.

The blue w/ yellow stripe was the last year of the more playful flexible build, which also delaminated easily. Had them and loved them to pieces.

I had the same question and I was promised that Season Kin is the answer. Haven't used them yet tho so cannot confirm
