Faction Chapter 106 (model 16/17)

Faction Chapter 106 (model 16/17) 

The Faction Chapter 106 is a versatile all-mountain ski for advanced skiers looking for one ski that can handle groomers, powder and bigger terrain. With a 106 mm waist, it offers plenty of flotation off piste while the 19-metre radius and solid construction keep it precise when the snow gets firm.

Transition Zone Technology helps the ski move quickly from turn to turn while adding stability when conditions become technical. The full sandwich construction with a poplar and beech core adds strength and damping, while the micro-cap protection improves durability.

The Chapter 106 is particularly comfortable in soft snow, crud and open terrain, where its width and stable platform can do their work. It is not a dedicated powder ski or a soft freestyle toy, though. Its character is more composed and controlled, making it better suited to skiers who like to move with some speed while keeping the ski firmly underneath them.

For an advanced skier looking for one versatile ski for the resort and surrounding freeride terrain, the Chapter 106 makes a lot of sense. It has enough flotation for deeper snow and enough precision for groomers, without becoming overly specialised in either direction.
