Contributor at SlopeMagazine.com

Hailing from Aspen, Colorado, Derek began his skiing career in the illustrious Powder Pandas ski school program, eventually sort of growing up to ski professionally in slopestyle and big air, while moonlighting as a ski tuner and writer.

Now living in Colorado’s front range, Derek can be found among the i70 crowd racing to find hidden powder stashes on the back bowls of Vail, on Park Lane in Breckenridge, under the lights on Keystone, and returning home to the High Alpine steeps in Snowmass. When he's not skiing he’s wishing he was, or nerding out on mountain biking, climbing, and golf.

REI

Backcountry

Evo

While Faction’s entire line is technically unisex, the Prodigy 2X is right in the design wheelhouse for women seeking an all-mountain ripper with a freestyle feel. With a 98mm waist, prominent rocker shape in the tip and tail, elliptical sidecut, and stacked camber, the Prodigy 2X is really a playful, do-it-all ski in any snow condition.

Faction went back to well with an energetic poplar wood core and microcap sidewalls for a smooth and solid feel that loves to pivot and pops off of jumps and bumps. The Prodigy 2X also features a 2.5mm edge that sits a bit taller, carves exceptionally well, and adds durability to your new favorite skis.

The topsheet mirrors the Prodigy 2 but sports an alternate design to celebrate women in skiing.
