Faction Le Mono 23/24 Freeski
Product description
Mogul skis are synonymous with the birth of freestyle skiing, so Faction went all-in to honor their roots.
Le Mogul slices through snowy mounds with the nimbleness of a deer but the strength of bear. Pressed with the best machines, made with the finest materials and with no frills attached, we present to you the most thoughtfully crafted Mogul ski on Earth. Lock those knees and let 'er buck.
The Outcast Series is comprised of throwback designs brought into the modern day to crash the party. In a nod to the Faction freestyle roots, we’re one of the only brands in the world producing a true bump ski: The Mogul Ski. And let’s be real: Le Mono is a Le Must - you’re everyone’s best friend when you rock the monoboard. Finally, the all-new Le Split Mono is blowing minds. Someone had to do it. You’re welcome.
Sustainability
The Faction poplar, beech and ash cores are sourced from the forests that are growing near the European Faction factories, eliminating the carbon cost of transporting raw materials across great distances. The raw materials are FSC accredited. This means that the forests from which their wood is sourced are managed to support environmental and societal sustainability.
Built with recycled materials, never sacrificing durability. Faction is working with their production partners to eliminate material waste. They now mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions while ensuring the same level of quality & durability. As a fun fact, by integrating recycled materials into their ski bases, they reduce the ecological impact of our bases by 75%.
In an effort to reduce the impact of their supply chain, Faction strives to source materials from European companies that are based near their factories.
This ski uses an environmentally-conscious, bio-based resin that has 35% of its molecular range derived from plant material. It has the same structural properties as resin derived solely from petrochemical products. Faction is working diligently to implement the bio-based resin across their wider collection for season 23|24.

Poplar is a light-coloured, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like a park ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill.
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.
The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex works best for most skiers. Enjoy stability in front of, and behind the binding area to provide solid edge hold. Then, we transition to smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you. This flex allows for progression and for an easier turn initiation and finish
Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.
We process only the best topsheet materials available and test them extensively to guarantee they will stand up to the toughest use. For a greener supply chain, materials are sourced from near our factories in Europe.
