Faction Skis brought in Crested Butte based artist Elsa Grace to design three sets of top sheets for the Prodigy Capsule series, celebrating three regions of the United States through the designs. The Prodigy 1 features designs celebrating the maritime character of the East Coast, the Prodigy 2 shows off the alpine flora of Colorado, and the Prodigy 3 explores the sun-drenched deserts of the American southwest.
“This Prodigy Capsule became a curation of my memories. Memories of summers on the East Coast shucking oysters, diving off docks, & butter drenched lobsters. Memories of growing up in Crested Butte learning each wildflower by name and telling the cows good morning. Memories of the annual spring escape to the desert to thaw out after the long, freezing winter. My hope is that each ski will stir up your own memories… Of the places we’ve loved, the people we’ve loved, and the memories we’ve made along the way.”
The Faction Prodigy Capsule collection can be viewed here, with each ski available for sale on their website. The Prodigy Capsule 1 features a waist width of 88mm, the Prodigy Capsule 2 a waist of 98mm, and the Prodigy Capsule 3 a waist of 106mm. The entire Prodigy series can be viewed here.
