Faction CT5.0 (2022) Anyone skied them?
Hi,
Looking for some advice. Faction updated the 5.0 for last year. Candide later announced he was leaving so I guess they didn't pump any money into marketing the ski. I can't see any reviews of it anywhere.
Has anyone skied it? Seems to be a different manufacturer (maybe help with Faction delam issues), core, and a modified updated shape.
I've always fancied a pair and I've found the 183cm at a reasonable price, so tempted to go for them. I'm 170cm and ski the 186 CT3.0 which I LOVE.
Only caveat, I skied a bit last winter but following two winters of being injured (knee) I was pretty restrained.
Cheers

I owned black 183cm CT 5.0 (1st year of new build).....it was one of the best skis I've ever owned. I was mounted 1/2 cm behind Candide's line, so I was at -4.7cm. It skied everything well. Loved it and still regret selling. It ripped groomers to deep pow. Flat rocker made it manuevreable, and the non-tapered tips grip when ski rolled on edge, even on ice. Just sold my Icelantic Nomad 115 (similar dimensions), so I'm hunting another pair of CT 5.0's too.
Here are my black ones (when I had a quiver of 3 just a few years ago - haha). Totally agree that this build was much better than the previous year's CTs.

1 mount for Aatack 2 demo bindings. 183cm.
They look and feel amazing but I just never got dialed on them.

Hey Shorty,
I may be interested!
Was looking at the 30%-off ones at the boutiquegarceau.com CDN site. Will shoot you a pm.
