Cheers to Faction Skis who just debuted their all-new Dancer 79, Faction’s first pure piste ski designed with one place in mind: “la piste de dance.”
“This ski’s home is in and around the resort’s groomed runs, where each high-energy turn matters. The Dancer 79 features a progressive mix of minimal rocker, parabolic shape and razor-thin Titanal sheets for class-leading stability at speed and unrelenting grip on hardpack snow. Built for a dynamic riding experience on the piste and its sides, sporting a sharp look and a touch of freeski soul, it’s one of our most electrifying skis in the collection.”
The new Dancer series range from $749 to $849 and are currently available here. Check out the promo video and find more information below.
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
Built with Titanal
The Dancer 79 is equipped with a poplar wood core and two strips of Titanal.
Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill.
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 piste ski.
A Progressive Flat-Tail Shape
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
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. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
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.
