Faction went ahead and did y’all a favor when the veteran design team in Austria developed the Agent 3. A FREESKIER-favorite year after year, the Agent 3 continues to top the list because of its lightweight-yet-chargey construction. A karuba wood core gives the Agent 3 a responsive flex while a carbon weave accounts for the ski’s rigidity and stability, making it an absolute dream ski on both the up and down—if touring is your thing. For those seeking a light all-mountain ski for downhill ripping, the 106-mm waist width and 21-meter turn radius will take you through the deepest days, leftover chunder and icy hardpack with the same calm, cool and collected style, day after day. Just take it from the President of Pit Viper, Dave Bottomley, “The approachable construction makes this ski pretty damn fun.”
