About the Product

The Faction Dancer 79 Ti is a 79mm unisex piste carver — Faction's first ski built purely for groomers, from a company better known for freeride. Float 1/10 puts it firmly on the frontside — a dedicated groomer ski, not an all-mountain one. Buy it for hardpack and firm corduroy, not for soft snow.

Unlike Faction's carbon Agent tourers, the Dancer 79 has metal in it. Two razor-thin Titanal sheets — the "Ti" in the name — sit over a light poplar core. That metal gives it the damping and edge grip of a proper carver, while the thin sheets and poplar keep it lighter than most metal-laminate frontside skis in its class, so it changes edges quickly and stays fresh on a long groomer day. An Elliptical Sidecut pivots easily at low speed but tightens and holds when you lean into a turn, and its flex is firm through the middle, softening toward the tips and tails.

It is an intermediate-to-expert ski (Flex 8/10) that rewards technique — strong skiers get energy and pop out of it, while skiers who cannot bend it will find the grip less impressive. It is not for beginners, for anyone chasing off-piste float, or for a heavy charger who wants the brute calm of a much heavier race platform.

Published lengths run 158 to 184cm. The flat ski ships without bindings — we mount and fit them with you. It also comes as the Dancer 79 Ti SYS, which pairs the ski with a Salomon Strive 11 binding; we set that up at fitting. If you want more than pure piste, ask us about the wider Dancers.

Product Features

  • Poplar Core
    Poplar is a lightweight yet durable softwood known for its excellent flex and vibration absorption. It delivers lively pop and easy buttering while maintaining downhill stability, providing strong edge grip and reliable torsional rigidity both on piste and in the park.

  • Dual Span Titanal
    Dual layers of Titanal — a premium metal alloy with isotropic strength — create a powerful, confidence-inspiring chassis. This construction excels when skiing aggressively on edge, blasting through chop, and maintaining composure in variable snow, making it ideal for freeride-focused performance.

  • Mustache Flex Pattern
    The signature Mustache Flex is tuned for broad skier appeal. Stiffer zones in front of and behind the binding enhance edge hold and stability, while progressively softer tips and tails smooth out turn initiation and absorb bumps and snow debris with ease.

  • Elliptical Sidecut
    An innovative sidecut design blends a longer radius underfoot for quick, intuitive pivots with shorter radii in the tip and tail for effortless turn entry. This geometry supports a wide range of turn shapes, angles, and mounting positions for maximum versatility and control.

  • Recycled Materials
    Sustainability is built into the process. Base, sidewall, and topsheet production scraps are reintegrated into raw materials, reducing waste and carbon emissions while preserving the same high standards of durability and on-snow performance.

  • Full Strength Sidewall
    The XL Full Strength Sidewall construction enhances edge hold and overall stability. Protective strips reinforce the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impacts and extending durability season after season.

  • Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
    A reinforced Micro-Cap wraps the topsheet into the sidewall at the tips and tails, protecting these high-wear zones from chipping and impact damage — keeping your skis looking cleaner and performing stronger with every day on the mountain.
