Faction Candide 2.0

I picked up these Faction Candide skis in the offseason and they are giving me major Pink Floyd vibes. Can’t wait to try them out the first chance I get!

My favorites include: for all mountain - I like Icelantic Nomad 105's and Faction Candide 2.0's; for deep powder or sierra cement - I like Armada 115mm JJ's; for icey moguls - I like Faction Candide 1.0's. A lot of my friends like the Blizzard Rustler 10's for all mountain. When possible, I try to buy after ski season or buy last year's models before ski season. I have been able to find very good discounts that way.

This sub over the years...

2020 - *"Faction Candide"*

2021 - *"Atomic Bent Chetler"*

2022- *"Moment (anything, their skis are all amazing for everyone and every condition)"*

I’d recommend the faction Candide 1’s or 2’s. They beefed them up for this season so they’ll be a better all mountain ski. The new k2 reckoners look playful and flexy as well.

I was not super impressed by the time it took to ship out my order. Once my order was shipped, I received my skis in a timely manner.

Strong skis that like to go big, fast and hold a solid edge but they don't mind slashing pow and jibbing on the undulating features along the way as well as a detour through a terrain park while feeling welcome on the rails. I'm getting accustomed to the amount of weight I gotta use in order to pres...

Just got my dream skis after saving up for quite a while. It's only July and I am already feeling the STOKE for this upcoming winter. I want to note that the previous years of Faction Candide's had a more fragile underfoot that was easy to snap, but it looks like they fixed that for 2021, so the shr...

They are by far my favorite skis to date. They have a playful feel to them which makes them great for shredding pow yet they hold a solid edge on groomers, some chatter at high speeds but nothing to worry about. I love the soft, surfy feel and they have given me the confidence to ski backwards and w...

Killer deal on a great ski, shipping was super fast. Can't wait to get out on these this winter. Photo of side profile is misleading! The photo shown here is NOT the 2.0. The 2.0 has a yellow side wall, and the contact points are not so far in! The 2.0 does not have quite as much rocker as shown. Ca...

Very light and maneuverable ski. Even though it is on the lighter side it is still nice and stable at speed. They turn very easy for being 102mm underfoot and will work great in all conditions.
