The read

The Prodigy 2 targets all-mountain skiers who also want park and freestyle capability, rated for intermediate through expert ability. Its 98mm waist sits wider than most all-mountain skis in the catalog, and a rocker-camber-rocker profile supports both carving and pivoting or smearing. Mid-weight with carbon reinforcement and no metal, it suits skiers who want a versatile, poppy platform for mixing groomers, park laps, and creative terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Prodigy 2's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 18.0-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal on a poplar wood core, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,810 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 98 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
