Faction Dancer 1X Womens Snow Skis
Other companies' frontside carver skis tend to lock you into a particular style of skiing, which is not necessarily a bad thing if you want to look like a racer who's lost his way to the gates or a Level III instructor. The Faction Dancer 1X Skis, on the other hand, let you mix up your style a bit a vary your turn shape on the way down, all while holding a great edge and running smooth at speed. Which do you prefer? There isn't a right or wrong answer, but the Faction Dancer philosophy deserves a close look.
Rocker Type
Rocker-Camber-Rocker – Tip Rocker: 154 = 270mm, 162 = 280mm | Camber: All Sizes = 4mm | Tail Rocker: 154 = 160mm 162 = 170mm
Flex
Flex: 8 (1 = Soft, 10 = Stiff)
Sidecut
Elliptical Sidecut – Elliptical Sidecut is made up of a longer radius underfoot and shorter radii 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.
Shape
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.
Core
Sustainable Lightweight Poplar Wood 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.
Laminates
Dual Span Titanal – Titanal is one of the most sturdy metals out there. Its isotropic qualities, equally strong in all directions, mean that the ski loves being on an edge, blasts through bumps and feels stable even in changeable snow, making it the perfect chassis for a holy grail, hard-charging freeride ski.
Sidewalls
Microcap Full Strength Sidewall – Micro-cap construction is a hybrid of a premium, sandwich sidewall construction fused with a lightweight, durable cap construction. With micro-cap, the sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold and torsional stability while the ski’s topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, protecting the fragile joint that can be prone to chipping.
Edges
XL 2.5mm Edges – Fractions of a millimeter might not sound like much, but when it comes to edges, it adds up. The 2.5mm edges stack an extra 25% of height on top of our already super-durable standard 2.0mm edges. This extra steel gives the rider a pair of skis that are going to take more abuse and last longer.
