Would y'all consider faction to be a big brand yet?

do you think that faction is a big brand yet?

Personally, I don't think so. I ski in the east coast and barely see them. However, I just had a trip to Revelstoke, and faction skis are everywhere there. I believe that Faction has a resort deal or something because they are in the on mountain ski shop.

Faction is absolutely a big brand, they are huge in Europe.

i saw a teen girl (couldn't be past the age of 16) the other day pizzaing down a groomer on a pair of ct 5.0s with her dad cheering her on saying things like "Yeah I told ya you don't need the mademoiselle"

I'd say they've penetrated into mainstream skiing

Until they make their skis in a way where they don't break like a bundle of toothpicks glued together I'm not gonna admit that they're big

Id say so, Candides mainstream videos really put them on the map. Nothing wrong with it though, i heard they are a fun ski to ride

Maybe not so in North America but they’re all over Europe.

The Faction home town of verbier is dotted with 1.0s and 2.0s which are pushed out by rental shops across town,which imo are a pretty decent deal over usual rental skis you get elsewhere.

The probability that faction can make as good a

Ski as the nazi scientists at volkl is

Very small.

Same goes for armada

Had a friend snap a pair of 3.0s last weekend doing a 3 off medium sized cliff. He didn't hit anything, just landed forward in deep pow. I feel like thats a situation where a ski should hold up. If you look on resale sites, there is a lot of people reselling individual skis because they broke one and couldn't get warranty. Never seen that with any other brand. Fuck Faction.

I don't support faction, if you look at my previous comment on another faction durability post two of my co-workers have had skis break (especially the tips) over bullshit like that too. But it would be silly to say faction isn't a a large company because of durability. It's the same as saying jeep isn't a big company cause they have terrible reliability issues
