Faction Area Womens Skis 2012 |
Designed by Kristi Leskinen, one of the most respected female freestyle skiers over the last ten years, the Area has years of experience and knowledge poured into it. Built with a full vertical sidewall the Area has tremendous edge hold for gripping in the half pipe or setting spins on booters as well as a clean carving ride outside of the terrain park. By sticking to traditional camber and the Matrix Core, a poplar core with a torsional box underfoot for stability and a buttery tip and tail, the Area also has the pop needed for huge ollies onto rails and the energy for when it is time to boost with buttery flex for buttering and pressing. While the sidecut of the Area isn't symmetrical it is set to be the most narrow at true center and has even height tips and tails. These both make for a very well balanced feel in the air, for locking onto rails and boxes, and to keep the Area feeling the same switch as it does forward, but still allow the ski to have a slightly directional feel for performance when you are hitting the half pipe or just freeskiing. Anti-chipping sidewalls and a full wrap metal edge help add durability to the Area so it can hold up to a whole season of being thrashed in the park. Mid-soft Flex and buttery smooth the Area was originally designed as a women's ski but what came out was the perfect slopestyle ski for both guys and girls.
