 That's going to lead to better smoothness and fresh and soft snow, good flotation. The fact that it's with that cap portion also increases the ski's ability to kind of stay up and hover out of the snow. In the tail, we see similar theory where the cap starts right about here and the rocker is just a few centimeters north of that towards the tail. Low splay definitely has that longer effective edge for smoother skiing and better control from tip to tail

 Welcome to our 2023 ski test. We've got a Faction Dancer 3 for you today. Pretty wide and beefy directional all-mountain ski. Has a lightweight poplar wood core and two sheets of metal in it

 Pretty interesting what they do in terms of the profile and how that marries with the construction. So this is basically a fully sidewall ski, full sandwich construction, except for after the rocker. So we got full sidewall underfoot and then when we decamber it, the rocker pretty much starts where the sidewall ends and the full cap begins. So the capped portion of the ski is also the rockered portion, which both of those lean to that free ride aspect of the spectrum versus having full sidewall all throughout, less rocker, which would be more directional

 This is the 178 here and we have a 19 meter turn radius. So a little bit longer than we see in the narrower version of this ski, but still not like a long 22 plus meter turn radius. We're still in the teens here in this 178. So it does like to get up on edge and make those clean carve turns for sure

 Hey skiers, it's Bob with SkiEssentials.com.

 We've got a Faction Dancer 3 for you today.

 Pretty wide and beefy directional all-mountain ski.

 Has a lightweight poplar wood core and two sheets of metal in it.

 They even have the wider Dancer which still has two sheets of metal in it.

 So they're definitely putting a lot of stock into these wider metallic skis for pretty

 aggressive all-mountain slash freeride skiing.

 But putting their Faction Spin on it as well.

 So really interesting choice here for advanced and expert skiers who are looking for something

 that's strong, stable, incredibly smooth and energetic, but also has kind of that freeride

 So that's where this ski really comes into play.

 You know, it's not like there's a ton of skis out there at 106 underfoot with two sheets

 But for what this one has that the others don't, it's just kind of more of that solid

 So having those two thin sheets of metal in there goes a long way at reducing vibrations

 and making this thing really glued to the snow.

 This is the 178 here and we have a 19 meter turn radius.

 So a little bit longer than we see in the narrower version of this ski, but still not

 We're still in the teens here in this 178.

 So it does like to get up on edge and make those clean carve turns for sure.

 It's not the lightest ski, 2083 grams per ski here in the 178.

 So we're north of that 2000 gram mark, which is not unexpected given the width and the

 Pretty interesting what they do in terms of the profile and how that marries with the

 So this is basically a fully sidewall ski, full sandwich construction, except for after

 So we got full sidewall underfoot and then when we decamber it, the rocker pretty much

 starts where the sidewall ends and the full cap begins.

 So the capped portion of the ski is also the rockered portion, which both of those lean

 to that free ride aspect of the spectrum versus having full sidewall all throughout, less

 rocker, which would be more directional.

 So the profile of this, especially in the shovel here, does make for that free ride

 I mean, it's a nice rounded tip shape to it.

 And then we see similar with the taper here, whitest part of the ski is brought down to

 That's going to lead to better smoothness and fresh and soft snow, good flotation.

 In the tail, we see similar theory where the cap starts right about here and the rocker

 is just a few centimeters north of that towards the tail.

 Low splay definitely has that longer effective edge for smoother skiing and better control

 And then shape's pretty straight, not a whole lot of taper to talk about here.

 It's definitely going to want to finish a turn through any crud or chop without being

 It's not like a surfy tail like we see in the Mana series from Faction or anything like

 Definitely more directional, more aggressive, more hard charging.

 But we still have that nice positive camber underfoot.

 That's going to give you great energy on the groomers.

 So even for 106 millimeters underfoot, this ski's going to carve pretty darn well on piste.

 So if you're mixing it up and really looking to do a little bit of everything, whether

 you're on the trail carving or in the back country, skiing off some steep cliffs and

 deeper snow, I think this 106 underfoot ski is a great choice for that.

 So make sure you check out this Faction Dancer 3 here at SkiEssentials.com and we'll see

 I reviewed the Faction Dancer 3X and they are 172 centimeters. I like that the Faction Dancer could charge through almost any condition, but it still remained really nimble and agile through the trees and the bumps, and I really enjoyed the amount of compliments I got in the lift line on the top sheet. The Dancer excelled in steeper and more challenging lines for sure, but where I really noticed them to shine was through variable conditions where they could handle any change in the snowpack with ease and grace. Definitely geared towards an advanced to expert skier

 If the Dancers were a vehicle, I'd probably call them a Jeep because they're very all terrain, you can take them anywhere and they will plow right through it.

 In this installment of the People Ski Test presented by Forecast Ski Magazine, we review the Faction Dancer 3X. As part of an all-new lightweight, flat-tailed, all-mountain line of skis from Faction that replaces the Dictator series, the Dancer 3X is designed for female freeride skiers who are looking to chase big lines, but still need a ski that can hold its own in any and all types of terrain. The Dancer 3X is equipped with generous tip and tail rocker, and a sustainably sourced woodcore bolstered by two razor-thin sheets of metal, all of which aims to provide the ideal balance of weight savings and nimble handling, combined with increased stability and edge hold at high speeds. Here's what our tester had to say about it
