Don't let the powder day of your dreams be ruined by the wrong equipment. With its pronounced rocker, the Faction 4 Pow Collab is perfectly balanced for agile turns and big, beautiful arcs in the terrain.

The elliptical sidecut allows the Agent 4 to be mounted further forward for a freestyle-oriented ride. The preload and carbon weave also allow for phenomenal performance on piste.

In addition to its premium, durable Austrian quality construction, the limited edition Faction Agent 4 Pow Collab ski impresses with its sustainable features. It is made from recycled sidewall , base and topsheet material. The Agent 4 Pow Collab also features a sustainable wood core that is sourced from Europe and FSC certified, and it is made from recycled components and with bio-based resin. Faction sources materials from European companies close to its factories to keep the supply chain short. In addition, Faction donates 1 percent of all proceeds from the Agents, La Machine and Dancer series to the non-profit organization 1% for the planet. And the special thing about this ski: 10 percent of the sales will additionally benefit Faction's partner Protect our Winters (POW) Switzerland.

Technology

Carbon Stringer
Between 8 and 12 unidirectional carbon strips enclose both sides of the wood core, adding stability to the ski without increasing its weight. Each carbon strip is woven into the fiberglass for added stability and stiffness throughout the ski.

Lightweight Karuba core
Karuba is an extremely lightweight wood core with good strength properties. Little known Karuba offers good flex and excellent vibration dampening without adding weight. This makes it a perfect wood core for a touring ski that delivers full performance both downhill and uphill.

XL 2.5 mm edges
0.7 mm seems little, but when it comes to edges, they make a crucial difference. At 2.5 mm, the already super-durable 1.8mm standard edges are another 35% wider.
This extra steel gives riders a pair of skis that can withstand higher loads and are more durable.

Recommended mounting points (acc. to manufacturer)

A mounting point further back on the ski promotes stability, float, and carving performance. This is generally preferred by those with a traditional technique, who ski in a  forward stance or with lots of pressure on the front of their boots through the whole turn.

CLASSIC
The Classic line offers optimal carving ability. Choose this position if you like to heavily pressure the front of your ski boots and ski shovels through your turns. Mounting at the Classic mark will optimize float in deep snow, giving you the most tip length of any of our three recommended positions. 

Best for: those skiing with a traditional stance, ex-racers, big-mountain chargers.

PROGRESSIVE (equivalent to mounting point "Allround Standard" when requested in order process)
Progressive is the Faction  recommended mount position for the Prodigy, Dancer, La Machine, and Agent lines. Progressive is the most versatile position on the ski, and provides the perfect balance of carving performance and manoeuvrability. This is the position Faction recommend, if you’re unsure where you want to put your bindings, or if you’re simply looking for the most all-around solution. 

Best for: all-rounders, those drawing on both freeride and freestyle inspiration in their skiing. 

NEWSCHOOL
The Newschool position is for those who ski with a playful, freestyle-influenced style, wanting to maximize pivot ability and potential for butters, tricks, and spins. Skiers preferring New School will likely have a more ‘centred’ and neutral stance, with less pressure on the shins through turns. Newschool is the Faction recommended mount point for the Mana series.

Best for: Freestylers, those who ski with a centred stance, those wanting to maximize manoeuvrability
