There aren't a ton of skis out there like the Candide 2.0.  Sure there are bunch of 102 mm waisted skis that are built well, but they're all directional side cuts.  Faction's Candide 2.0 is a well built symmetrial sidecut ski with a directional rocker profile.  For skiers with a park background that want a ski that can do a lot, feel surfy, and have it ride switch well, the Candide 2.0 is the ticket.  The ability to slash and dump speed when things get a little to Sendy is what it was designed for, while a firm feel underfoot keeps the confidence high when approaching the speed of light.

TLDR: As all-mountain as Symmetrical skis get + it's a good width -- 102.

Recommended Binding: The Faction Candide 2.0's do NOT include a binding -- the best skis come flat.
