Product Description
The Prodigy 3 Capsule is Faction's legendary quiver-killer dressed in Elsa Grace's botanical artistry. Its 106 mm waist and Directional Twin shape cut fluidly between powder laps and packed groomers, while the tip-rocker/camber/tail-rocker profile delivers float on entry and precision underfoot. Poplar core keeps the ride lively without adding weight. The ski for intermediate to advanced skiers who refuse to choose between terrain types.
Product Details
| Rocker Profile | Tip rocker / camber / tail rocker: early rise in the tip and tail for float in powder and easy pivot, with a camber underfoot zone for edge hold and pop |
| Shape | Directional Twin: tail is considerably narrower than the tip for optimal downhill performance, with a twin-tip tail for freestyle attitude and easy switch skiing |
| Sidecut | Elliptical Sidecut: award-winning elliptical cut with a longer radius underfoot for quick, easy pivoting and a shorter radius in the tip and tail for easy turn initiation, enabling a wide variety of turn lengths, angles, and binding positions |
| Flex | 7 / 10 |
| Waist Width | 106 mm |
| Core | Poplar Core: lightweight poplar wood that flexes and pops with excellent vibration absorption, providing all-mountain freestyle pop, butter and stomp while delivering impressive torsional stability on the descent |
| Edges | XL 2.5mm Edges: 2.5 mm steel edges, 25% thicker than standard 2.0 mm edges, for greater impact resistance and extended durability |
| Topsheet | Matt Topsheet: matte finish featuring Elsa Grace's Capsule artwork inspired by antique tilework, botanical refuges, and citrus motifs |

Prodigy 3 Capsule Skis 2027 FAQ
What is the difference between the Prodigy 3 Capsule and the regular Prodigy 3?
The Prodigy 3 Capsule shares the same geometry and construction as the standard Prodigy 3 — 106 mm waist, Directional Twin shape, Elliptical Sidecut, flex 7 — but features artwork by artist Elsa Grace as part of her limited-edition Capsule residency. It is available in 4 sizes (164 to 184 cm) versus 5 on the standard model; the 190 cm is not offered in the Capsule version.
Is the Prodigy 3 Capsule a quiver-killer, or do I need a dedicated powder ski and a piste ski?
The Prodigy 3 Capsule is positioned as a quiver-killer. The 106 mm waist is wide enough to float in soft snow and narrow enough to carve on groomed runs. The Directional Twin shape and Elliptical Sidecut handle the transition between terrain types. If you ski a mix of groomers, off-piste, and occasional powder, it covers that range with one ski.
Is the Capsule edition as well built as the regular Prodigy 3?
Yes. The Prodigy 3 Capsule uses a Poplar core, XL 2.5 mm edges (25% thicker than standard), and a Directional Twin shape identical to the standard Prodigy 3. The construction is the same performance tier — the Capsule distinction is the limited-edition Elsa Grace artwork, not a downgrade in materials.
What sizes are available, and how do I choose?
The Prodigy 3 Capsule comes in 164 cm (1750 g/ski), 172 cm (1910 g/ski), 178 cm (1970 g/ski), and 184 cm (2100 g/ski). For an all-mountain freeride ski, a length reaching chin to forehead height is the standard reference. Lighter or more playfulness-focused riders lean to the 164 or 172 cm; heavier, faster, or powder-biased riders should consider the 178 or 184 cm.
Do bindings come included?
No, the Prodigy 3 Capsule ships as a flat ski. Bindings are sold separately and mounted by a shop. The drill spec is 4.1 x 9 mm, compatible with standard adult alpine bindings. Mounting positions available are Newschool (+3 cm), Progressive (+1.5 cm), and Classic (factory line).
