Crowned by the famous Corbet's Couloir, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is celebrating its 60th anniversary this winter. We've joined forces to honor six decades of world-class freeride skiing with a wild west flavor. The centerpiece of this ski features Jackson Hole's iconic Aerial Tram, which has carried countless freeride skiers up its 4,139ft/1,261m ascent.
Built on our award-winning Dancer 3 platform, this 106mm-waisted freeride ski combines a lightweight poplar core with two sheets of titanal for smooth stability without weighing you down. The dual-metal construction and beefy 2.5mm edges let you go full gas even when conditions are less than optimal. Tip and tail rocker ensures the Dancer 3 excels in powder and confidently handles crud and hardpack. Above all, it's ready to plant a smooth, crowd-pleasing send off Corbet's Couloir, keeping your energy flowing all the way down to the village, and back onto the Aerial Tram for the next lap.
The Dancer 3 Jackson Hole features artwork by local ultra-marathon runner and artist Kelly Halpin. This ski brings a piece of Jackson Hole to riders worldwide, with a limited online release and broader inventory available at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming, U.S.

Freeride flat tail
Traditional flat tail design is built for speed, ultimate edge grip and control throughout charging turns. Brought into the modern day with a slight tail rocker, this shape is easier than ever to slash your turn into a slarve and won’t hook up in fresh conditions.
Product Features
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.

Reviews
Great skis!
"Great skis, I use them for resort/ gate guiding with a marker duke pt 16 binding. It is heavy but that’s what I wanted. Use it like a free ride ski. I used them in New Zealand too and were amazing for steep terrain and handling all types of snow. Can carve well too. Takes high speed so well. I’ve used my studio 3s as a powder/ lighter weight touring ski with dynafits and they’ll be great for my back country guiding."
Great comp ski
"Whether it’s crusty chalky moguls or chopped up pow a few hours after open these skis are a Freeride weapon. Cliffs on hard pack or side hits there’s no wrong piece of terrain for these skis."
Versatile All Mountain Skis
"These are a great option for a ski touring setup as they a quite light weight."
Freeride ski for hard-packed snow
"Stiff ski, very good with hard packed snow in freeride, kind of heavy tho so keep that in mind (compared to a park ski of course). Pretty fun ski, carves really well (similar to volk mantra M series). Don't expect the best floatability in powder since it's not meant to be a powder ski."
Delighted with Faction Dancer
"Was looking for a ski that was more suited to a full range of skiing that included powder and after lots of looking landed on Faction Dancer skis. Was so impressed I bought Dancer skis for the family. We had a great season skiing in Canada and Europe made possible by Faction Skis. Highly recommend to everyone."
