Faction CT 1.0
A staple in this category for years, Candide Thovex’s Signature Series of all-mountain freestyle skis has become a legend in its own right – the Air Jordans of the ski world if you will.
The skinniest ski in the line-up – the 92mm-waisted, multi-award winning Faction CT 1.0 has been given a total overhaul for winter 2021 with the addition of titanal and rubber making this master of trickery even more stompable than ever before.
The new construction brings it in line with last year’s winner – the wider CT 2.0 (102mm underfoot) – presenting Candide fans with a glorious but serious dilemma when choosing their weapon for mass freestyle destruction.
Rob is a big fan of the narrower CT 1.0 as it offers “more performance as a pure park ski than the CT 2.0, but still gives it the beans when it’s all-terrain jibbing time. The flex and profile make it easy enough to slash and press while offering a seemingly endless speed limit to charge inbounds, rip moguls and boost chopped-up natural features”.
If you’re looking for a playful park ski that can still hold its own when things get loose in the resort then jump aboard the new CT 1.0.
Verdict
This CT 1.0 is Candide’s park ski of choice, so who are we to argue?
