Faction Prime 4.0 (2018)

FWT Athlete and UAIGM Guide Sam Anthamatten’s ski of choice, the Prime 4.0 doesn’t back down to the most challenging ascents or the gnarliest descents. Developed in collaboration with our ski shaper, Patrik Sannes, this ski has a progressive shape, equipped with a Multi Dimension sidecut, making it agile and effective in tight, technical zones, bags of fun in powder or chopped up snow and a total charger when ripping giant turns down big mountain faces. A Hybrid Core coupled with the ingenious use of TeXtreme Carbon give the ski ridiculous amounts of torsional stability and edge grip for its weight. At 118mm underfoot, with extended rocker in the tip and tail for extra float and slashability, the Prime 4.0 is the tool of escape for riders like Sam who are pushing the limits of steep skiing, taking their outdoor pursuits and styles of skiing to places and levels that didn’t seem possible. Now it’s your turn.
