The Faction La Machine Micro takes the key elements that earned the La Machine cult status, and packs it into a Micro package. The lightweight paulownia wood core combined with the carbon layers leads to a leightweight ski with a soft flex, so you can move as swiftly as a cat through off-piste terrain. Its progressive, ultra-rockered shape inspires effortless float, pivoting and smearing in variable snow.

You'll love this ski if:

• You want extended tip and tail rocker for effortless turn initiation
• You need a super-light free-touring ski for long expeditions
• You need a floaty ski that easily surfs above variable snow conditions in the backcountry
• You want a premium, carbon-loaded ski for torsional strength on the downhill, without the bulk
