Faction Dancer 99 Ti - Ski Test Review

So a big moment for me because I have never skied on a faction ski before in my life. I don't know why that hasn't happened but I'm very pleased that it has. This is the Faction Dancer. It's the 99 Ti. Ti for titanal. 99 because it's 99 mm under foot. What can I tell you about this ski? Well it's got two layers of metal running tip to tail as well as a full wood core and that makes it a really powerful ski. But it's an all-mountain category ski. As you can see here from the tip rocker it's definitely more biased to going off-piste. This ski is fantastic. You've got a good tail rocker here as well for releasing the turn but you've got just terrific stiffness for the ski. This ski wouldn't necessarily be for everyone. Reason being you've got to be quite a powerful skier to get a lot out of it but if you are an advanced skier who likes blasting hardcore on the piste and you want to take a ski that you can do exactly the same off-piste then this might well be the ski for you. It really is a good charging all-around ski. Great for doing pretty hard turns on the piste too. Not a short radius ski at 19 meters. You need quite a bit of space to turn it but it's a very rewarding ski to ski. So if you're an advanced skier, quite a powerful skier, I think you'll really like this Faction. The other thing for 2027, this is a new ski for 2027. They've slightly changed the tip and they've renamed it from the Faction 2 to the 99. I think these retro graphics are fantastic and it's not just on the top sheet. On the base as well you've got a really clean graphic. Faction as a brand is seeped in sort of freeride history and you can tell when you pick this ski up and you ride it because it's a ski that just keeps on giving. The more you give it, the more it gives back. You feel very secure and safe. I highly recommend this ski. That's the Faction 99 Ti Dancer.
