Shape and Construction

1 - Topsheet

2 - Lightweight Poplar & Fiberglass Core

Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, durable softwood that flexes and pops nicely as well as having a whole load of vibration absorption capabilities. Used as the only wood in this core, it allows the ski to pop, butter and stomp like an all-mountain freestyle ski and also have enough torsional stability to grip impressively on the downhill. It's set between two layers of fiberglass for strength, rigidity and durability.

3 - Sintered Base

1 - Elliptical Sidecut

Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radius in the tip and tail of the ski. The long radius underfoot means you can pivot faster and easier, while a shorter radius in the tip and tail result in easier turn initiation. This sidecut allows for a wide variety of turn lengths, angles and mounting positions

2 - Mustache Flex

The "Mustache Flex" offers stability underfoot for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to easily absorb all the different bumps and snow debris the mountain throws at you.

3 - A Progressive Flat-Tail Shape and Profile

Tip and tail rocker + traditional camber, for the perfect blend of high performance edge hold, easy turn initiation, and float in soft snow. This ski combines the stability and drive of a flat tail with carefully tuned rocker that makes pivots and slashes intuitive.

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"

— Leo O. (5/5)

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."
