Faction Candide 2.0 Youth 21/22
The all-new CT 2.0 YTH is the go-to for the aspiring rippers who are just shy of being ready to step up to the best-selling CT 2.0.
Kids mastering freeride and freestyle skiing will be excited to have the YTH edition knowing that the ski is more or less a replica of the original 2.0. Poplar and Beech wood offer high-energy carving and absorption on landings; Elliptical Sidecut and Surf Zones allow for effortless turning and buttering; and the trio of Full-Strength Sidewall, tip & tail cap and 2.2 mm edges ensure this ski is built to last.
Candide Thovex’s signature skis are responsive, high per formance machines for those who demand the very best from their equipment, just like the legend himself. The Faction Collective have relentlessly mixed the most reliable materials with modern shapes and camber lines in order to create the per fect tools across all freeski disciplines. Beginning with the ultra-fat CT 5.0, the magic shape is retrofit ted for each sibling in a precise delta: the shape is reflected in the park-specific, reinforced CT 1.0; the recently redesigned, ultra-versatile, always-in-demand CT 2.0; and the lightweight, backcountr y-freestyle-inspired CT 3.0. Our fans want to shred like Candide — these are the skis he rips, s traight out of the box.

Poplar is a light-colored, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having great vibration absorption capabilities. The darker hardwood, Beech, adds stiffness and rebound. The results are a reasonably light ski that grips and is snappy between turns - always maintaining a soft enough flex to butter all over the mountain.
7 fractions of a millimetre might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 35% of height on top of Factions already super-durable standard 1.8mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
A construction that places strips of protective material along the sides of each core, between the edge and the topsheet. Sidewalls provide the best possible edge hold and stability when the ski is engaged in a turn as well as protecting the woodcore, edges and topsheet from impact and outside damage.
Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
Elliptical Radius Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in seamless turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turns lengths and angles.
