<p>The La Machine 3 touring ski is Factions's 109mm-width option in the middle of the ultra-light carbon-loaded La Machine family. Balancing float and supreme torsional stability, the La Machine 3 holds its own when conditions far off the grid can vary widely between floating in powder and navigating sharky hard-pack. Its progressive, rockered shape allows for hook-free pivoting and surfing across any snow you may encounter on your ski-touring adventures, with minimal weight penalty.</p><ul><li>Lightweight Paulownia wood core shaves weight while providing liveliness</li><li>Full layers of carbon enhance the ski’s torsional rigidity, making the skis more stable at higher speeds</li><li>Full strength sidewall construction increases the ski's overall durability and enhances edge grip</li><li>109mm waist delivers all mountain performance</li><li>Extended tip and tail rocker makes pivoting and turn initiation easier</li><li>Elliptical sidecut design ensures smoother and more predictable turning</li><li>Anti-Chip Mirco-Cap protects the topsheet and edges from damage, making the ski more resilient impacts</li><li>Mustache Flex pattern provides a unique blend of stiffness underfoot for stability and power, while the softer tip and tail offer a playful and forgiving feel</li></ul>
