Faction Skis Agent 3 Ski - 2024 Orange, 183cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Agent 3 is my go-to when I want a touring ski that feels powerful on the descent. The 106mm waist is wide enough for soft snow, but not so big that it feels sluggish on the skin track. The carbon makes it snappy, and the flat tail really locks me into a strong finish on big lines. It’s a reliable balance of uphill efficiency and downhill strength.""Who It’s ForAdvanced Backcountry Skiers Seeking Power:Ideal for skiers who prioritize the downhill but still want a capable touring setup, the Agent 3 is built for confident riders who chase big lines, deep snow, and variable backcountry terrain. It rewards experienced skiers looking for stability without sacrificing uphill performance. What It’s ForBackcountry Touring with Big-Mountain Confidence:With its 106mm waist and rocker-camber-rocker profile, the Agent 3 shines in mid-winter powder and mixed conditions. The rockered tip provides float, camber ensures skin-track grip, and the flat tail drives stability through powerful turns. Whether it’s steep lines, long tours, or variable snowpacks, this ski thrives on versatility. Why We Like ItStability, Float, and Touring Efficiency Combined:We like that the Agent 3 doesn’t compromise downhill performance for weight savings. The Karuba wood core keeps it light for touring, while carbon reinforcement adds stiffness and energy. Titanal underfoot boosts durability and binding retention, and the flat tail gives that locked-in drive for finishing turns. It’s a ski that feels trustworthy wherever the skin track leads."
