The Faction La Machine Massive 4 is perfect for the freeride skier who craves a wide yet light free-touring ski for extended backcountry missions when deep snow is on the menu. With a modest 117 mm waist width, the La Machine 4 Massive holds its own edging on firmer snow thanks to the lightweight paulownia wood core and carbon layers sandwhiched in the ski's construction.

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
