Introducing the Dancer 79 Nespresso.

A true piste and carving ski, two sheets of titanal and poplar wood construction make for a choice blend of nimble handling, stability and high-speed edge hold, especially on hard-packed snow.

The Dancer 79 Nespresso is partly made out of aluminium from 22 recycled coffee capsules; just one of the ways this material gets another life cycle.

It’s designed for skiers who care about what's under their feet, in many more ways than one.

You'll love this ski if...

  • You want to ski fast but under control
  • You want a super-stable ski that can also rip in the crud
  • You want a ski that is easy to turn in all conditions
  • You are skiing 100% on the piste

Your skis will arrive unmounted. To mount your new skis, we recommend bringing them to your nearest store.

Progressive flat tail
Innovative design, which blends the turn stability and speed of a traditional flat tail shape with a generous amount of perfectly calculated tail rocker, engineered to reward pivots and slashes. Stable to ski at high speeds, playful and easy to initiate turns at lower speeds – this shape exceeds expectations

Product Features

Recycled Capsules

The aluminum-finished Faction logo and tail plates are made from 22 recycled coffee capsules, giving new life to materials.

Poplar Core

Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park.

Dual Span Titanal

Titanal is a top-tier, sturdy metal alloy with isotropic strength, meaning it’s equally strong in all directions. This quality ensures skis that love being on edge, blasting through bumps, and staying stable in variable snow, making Titanal the ideal chassis for your dream freeride ski.

Mustache Flex

The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris.

Elliptical Sidecut

The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.

Recycled Materials

We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.

Full Strength Sidewall

Added protective strips along the core, shield the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage.

Anti-Chip Micro-Cap

The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear.

Reviews

The ski from Faction I knew they could build!

"I love my Dancer 1(s) great ski, fun everywhere, but as an "old-dogger" from the '70s I was always looking for something that felt more like my old Salomon Superforce 9-3s. These 79s are quick from edge to edge, have nice "pop" from turn to turn, and arch wonderfully. This helps this 73 year old relive his best days. Now the sad part is this ski season was the worst for snow I've seen in my 55 years of skiing, so to protect these amazing skis I only took them out once. . . everyone please think snow for the coming season! Looking below I see expert or advanced, even 10 years ago I would have said "expert", but with age come some different terrain requirement. So that is why I selected "advanced". . . but I'm always up for a clean zipperline with soft snow."

Love em’

"Absolutely the most fun i have had carving. If you are an ex racer or just tired of the old gs style skis. These will refresh your love for carving. These are so stable i pushed 105 kph on these no problem. And don’t get me started on the short skidded turns. Turns on a dime. Just perfect. And a real eye catcher too"

Dancer is spot on

"Skiing is supposed to be fun. These skis make low tide conditions as fun as can be. I was looking for a fun ski for ripping groomers, and settled on these after comparing reviews. I'm 6'4", 200lbs, and can't find the speed limit easily on these. Sturdy construction, good edgehold, and lightweight design make these effortless carvers that are worth your dime. Dancer is an apt name. They take effort in the moguls, but they can be fun with good technique (do not get backseat on these). If you're thinking about it, just buy them."

— Jay H. (5/5)

Not going back to traditional on piste

"Great fun, takes some time to get used to, if you come from a pure on piste ski. More for expert skiers than for advanced ones, it requires the right body position to keep full control of your line. Amazing how it holds at high speed despite its light construction which makes it more playful when you want it. Unless you are racing, not going back to Volkl or Salomon… Black Crows and Faction deliver more fun and now great on piste performance."

— Lluis (5/5)

Pleasure sticks

"Super playful and super awesome. Very light and responsive."
