Dancer 79 Ti Skis & Strive 11 GW Demo Binding 2027

The Faction Dancer 79 Ti is Faction's first dedicated piste ski — and it lands with an immediate statement about what on-piste performance should feel like when it carries Faction's freeski DNA. Designed with one place in mind ('la piste de dance'), the Dancer 79 Ti combines a 79mm waist, two razor-thin sheets of Titanal, and Faction's Elliptical Sidecut into a ski that offers class-leading stability and edge grip at speed without ever losing its capacity for pivots, slashes and playful turn shapes. This is the ski for skiers who treat the groomed run as a creative canvas rather than a commute.

Faction's Mustache Flex pattern provides a stiff, stable platform in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, transitioning to a progressive, smooth flex in the tips and tails that absorbs bumps and makes turn initiation effortless. The Elliptical Sidecut blends a longer radius underfoot — making pivots quicker and easier — with shorter radii in the tip and tail for fast, precise engagement when the ski is put on edge. Built with a lightweight poplar core and Austrian construction using 100% renewable energy, the Dancer 79 Ti is as considered as it is capable. Supplied with pre-mounted Salomon Strive 11 GW demo bindings.
