Product Details
| Rocker Profile | Tip Rocker 18% / Camber 3mm underfoot / Tail Rocker 14%: tip rocker for easy turn entry and float, a camber pocket for grip and pop underfoot, tail rocker for switch ease and release |
| Flex | 7 / 10 |
| Shape | Directional Twin: tail noticeably narrower than the tip for optimal forward performance, with a twin-tip tail for freestyle attitude and easier switch skiing |
| Sidecut | Elliptical Sidecut: longer radius underfoot for quicker pivoting, shorter radius at tip and tail for easier turn initiation, a wide variety of turn lengths, angles, and binding positions |
| Dimensions | 120 mm tip / 88 mm waist / 112 mm tail |
| Core | Poplar / Ash Core: lightweight poplar flexes, pops, and absorbs vibration; ash adds stiffness and durability for exceptional edge hold on hard snow and a solid platform to stomp landings |
| Edges | XL 2.5mm Edges: 25% thicker than standard 2.0mm edges for greater impact resistance and extended lifespan |
| Stomp Pad | Carbon / Rubber Stomp Pad: 600mm long, 15mm wide, positioned underfoot above the edge. Protects the core on rail impacts; the carbon-and-rubber combination adds stability and vibration damping underfoot |
| Topsheet | Glossy Topsheet: gloss finish |
| Sidewalls | Full Strength Sidewall: protective material strips running the full length of the core between edge and topsheet, delivering exceptional edge hold, turn stability, and core protection from impacts |

Prodigy 1 Matej Skis 2027 FAQ
What makes the Prodigy 1 Matej different from the standard Prodigy 1?
The Prodigy 1 Matej is a limited SMU colorway co-created with athlete-artist Matej Svancer, with a glossy topsheet finish versus the standard Prodigy 1's matt finish. The underlying construction is identical: Poplar/Ash core, Directional Twin shape, Elliptical Sidecut, Carbon/Rubber Stomp Pad, XL 2.5 mm edges, Full Strength Sidewall, and flex 7. Sizes are 164, 171, and 178 cm, a narrower range than the standard model.
Who is this ski built for: is it a pro ski or can an intermediate ride it?
The Prodigy 1 Matej is based on the Prodigy 1, which is designed for skiers seeking precise handling in park and on-piste. At flex 7 and 88 mm underfoot, it rewards confident intermediate to advanced skiing. It is not an entry-level ski, but it does not require pro-level technique, any skier comfortable with carving and freestyle basics will enjoy it.
Is the Poplar/Ash core meaningfully different from the pure Poplar core on other Prodigy models?
Yes. The Prodigy 1 Matej uses a Poplar/Ash blend: Poplar is the lightweight softwood base for pop and vibration absorption, while Ash is a denser hardwood that adds stiffness and durability. The combination delivers better edge hold on hard snow and a more solid platform for stomping landings compared to a pure Poplar core, which is better suited to playfulness over precision.
How do I choose between the three available sizes?
The Prodigy 1 Matej comes in 164, 171, and 178 cm. For a park and piste ski, chin to nose height is the common reference point. Lighter or more park-focused riders lean to 164 cm for easier spin and maneuverability. Taller, heavier, or on-piste-focused riders benefit from 178 cm for added stability and edge hold.
Do bindings come included?
No, the Prodigy 1 Matej ships as a flat ski. Bindings are sold separately. The geometry and drill spec are the same as the standard Prodigy 1 (4.1 x 9 mm), so any standard adult alpine binding is compatible. Three mounting positions are available: Newschool (+3 cm), Progressive (+1.5 cm), and Classic (factory line).
