Faction Mana 3 | 2024

If you ski like a paintbrush, elegantly swiping your way down a snow canvas, the Mana 3 is sure to please. It’s the playful, surfy, quiver-killer freestyle ski from Faction. As the replacement to the Candide line, they took the knowledge they had gained from years of working with arguably the best skier on the planet and introduced a new line. The Mana 3 includes a rubber and carbon stomp pad underfoot that dampens landings and makes coming back to Earth that much easier. A lightweight poplar core, XL 2.5-mm edges and the carbon weave throughout the ski give it a beautiful balance of pop, edge control and playfulness. Faction proves time and time again that they go the extra mile for the environment. This ski includes recycled materials, sustainably sourced wood and is manufactured in a 100 percent renewable energy-powered factory. What’s not to love?
