The Dancer 3 Sam Limited Edition ski combines our award-winning freeride ski with illustrations of the high-alpine imaginary world, celebrating ski-mountaineer Sam Anthamatten's deep connection with his home terrain of Zermatt, Switzerland.
With only 150 pairs made globally, they feature the artwork ‘The Spirit of a Line’ – hand-designed by Swiss artist and Faction freeskier Simon Charrière, who built his career on the powerful, yet simple emotive experiences of the mountainous world.
Based on the Dancer 3, an all-condition, all-terrain freeride ski, perfect for skiers who want a single, do-it-all ski. With tip and tail rocker and a 106 mm waist, it excels in powder, blasts through crud, and carves effortlessly on hardpack. Two ultra-thin metal sheets of titanal deliver smooth stability without adding bulk.
Built in Austria using sustainable construction and 100% renewable energy, the Dancer 3 is the ultimate combination of performance, sustainability, and dependability. No matter the conditions, the Dancer 3 gives back more than you put in.

"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."
"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."
"These are a great option for a ski touring setup as they a quite light weight."
"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."
"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."
"Great for pow, almost feeling like im gliding Great all-moutain capabilities"
"Had a pair of Dictators and loved them. Love these even more. Great all around. Super fun in the powder and off piste. They love to run fast and are nimble in the trees"
"i start ussing the ski for freeride and powder but i got the problem that it is to heavy for touring and when i want to do some backcountry runs and go back the ski is to heavy"
"Excellent ski in pow"
"These skis rock all around. Super versatile and responsive on and off piste. Great float when it’s deep. Faction nailed it!"
