Buy freeski & binding as a set and save.
Light, manoeuvrable freeride / touring ski from 100 % sustainable production
The La Machine Mega is slightly narrower than the original La Machine, whose cult status inspired the entire line. This narrower version offers the same amount of float as its wider counterpart, but is more versatile and responsive in less snowy conditions. The progressive rocker makes the ski turn-friendly and agile in all conditions you may encounter in the backcountry.
Subject to alterations according to the manufacturer. Image is non-binding.
Freeskis are usually delivered ready-to-ride with a waxed base and sharpened edges. However, this so-called factory-tuning is not very durable and your new skis should be properly waxed after a few days and maintained on a regular basis.

About Faction
Faction started out as a fun project for a group of shred happy ski bums in Verbier one winter. The group wanted to create skis that were affordable, could last 100+ days, survive without servicing and could be stowed away over summer and shine just as brightly once winter rolled around. Doing just that, they have seen great success over the last 12 years. They are united in their love for the mountains and the tools that allow them, us and you to escape there.
