Prodigy 1 GU Ski - 2025

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Prodigy 1 is my go-to for park and groomers. The elliptical sidecut lets me initiate turns with ease, while the poplar and ash core gives me stability and power for big hits. The carbon/rubber stomp pad is a game-changer, absorbing vibrations for a smooth and controlled ride. Plus, the XL edges hold up session after session."

Who It’s For

Freestyle Riders Who Live in the Park and Beyond:

The Prodigy 1 GU is built for park-focused skiers who want durability, stability, and playful precision. Great for intermediate to advanced freestyle riders who love jumps, rails, and groomers but also want a ski that carves with confidence when the park laps are done.

What It’s For

Park Performance with On-Piste Versatility:

With an 88mm waist, the Prodigy 1 GU thrives on jumps, rails, and side hits while also feeling locked-in on hardpack. Its elliptical sidecut smooths turn initiation at any speed, making it just as fun on groomers as it is in the park.

Why We Like It

Durable, Stable, and Built to Progress:

We like the Prodigy 1 GU because it combines freestyle play with real durability. The poplar/ash wood core is powerful yet poppy, while the carbon/rubber stomp pad soaks up heavy landings. Full-strength sidewalls and XL 2.5mm edges mean it’s built to withstand repeated sessions without blowing out. It’s a park ski that truly holds up.
