"The colours are amazing, the top sheet is shredding so fast-very disappointing. The tech of the skis (width under foot and length) are a perfect fit for en piste. Hope to get more faction skis in the future but for the price point, needs an upgrade."
"This is my third pair. Does that say enough? hundreds of days ripping the slopes on these skis, starting when they first came out as bright blue Dictator 1's,. . . . from over 100km on groomers arcing low angle badness, to shredding zipper lines to sending it in the park. I have loaned my skis out for test runs which typically end up with the borrower buying their own pair. This is a very technical ski, not for everyone, with great energy, agility, and rebound unlike any metal ski, and yet the satisfying grip and carve of a dual layer metal ski. Metal yes, heavy no, when they say "razor thin" sheets, you will believe "razor thin". If you are looking for somthing damp and cadilac this not the ski. If you are looking for something loose soft buttery and easy pivoting, look elsewhere. if you want a ski that will rip trench slash slarve carve that you can pump off the tails and accelerate, that is agile and nimble in a tight spot, that can properly rip moguls, that is supremely well balanced in the air, welcome to the Dancer 1. want to step up your skiing? this ski is the real thing, it will give you back everything you put into it. posers need not apply."
"I usually ride the faction Prodigy 1 in 178, 80% on piste and 20% free excursions. Got the Dancer 1 after an MCL tear, so went a bit shorter at 170 instead of 178 (I’m 5’11”). These blew me away on the piste - super easy to carve and even held up better than I expected in powder. Combined with look 12 pivots and these will handle all but the powiest days. Very happy with them."
"I've been skiing on Faction skis for a couple of years starting with the Dictator 1. 0, then a Dictator FG. Now I'm on the Dancer 1 and am very happy. As a Winter Park/Mary Jane skier I find the ski works every where. The ski is damp, quick, and holds on early morning frozen corduroy with tenacity. I'd recommend anyone looking for a versatile front side ski should give it a go."
"A great carving ski for the pristine pistes in Zermatt / Cervina. Responsive, great edge hold, short snappy turns, what is not to like. Also very enjoyable in the bumps and holds it own in 10cm of fresh pow. Skiing now for 40 odd years. . . can recommend."
"Best ski of my life! After having some heavy SL skis that I got from my older brother, I got this Dancer 1x and I'm the happiest person in the mountains! They carve amazing, are super stable and super easy to turn! I could not be happier with this purchase"
"He comprado estos esquis para mi novia y le encantan! El único problema es que ahora tenemos que ir a esquiar mucho más y no me da la cartera!!!"
"As an oldschool skier I love Vuarnet, it's so fun to see younger brands collabing with classics"
"Coming from a racing background this is the perfect ski for both GS and SL turns, and to make them in style, the color choice in immaculate!!"
"They ski great!"
