The Pro Collective Photo Competition

By Sam Sandiford. 16th April 2021.



We asked you, The Pro Collective, to share photos of yourselves at work with #FactionTPC, coaching, securing the pistes and sharing your local knowledge.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter a photo. We never cease to be amazed by the talent and dedication of this tight-knit community of mountain and outdoor industry professionals.

The Winners

Congratulations to our winners, Kanyon Lalley and Girogio Traverso, who have both received a stash of Faction goodies. Here are their winning entries:


Kanyon Lalley

Big Sky, Montana
Ski Instructor

“I like that Faction makes skis that are super fun to ride while also being high performance, solidly built machines.”




Giorgio Traverso

Jungfrau Region, Switzerland
Speedriding & Paragliding Tandem Pilot

“Faction is action! I cannot expect better performance on my solo & tandem rides.”

"Born and raised in Italy I’ve been always fascinated by the majesty of the mountains and the power of the oceans, riding and sailing both environments. After many years of international regattas as part of the Italian Team in dinghy sailing, Kitesurfing sparked the possibility to play with a wing in the third dimension. Paragliding is now a dream come true and sharing the excitement of a ride as a professional tandem pilot is the best experience ever!"
