 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

 You can get them onto an edge, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise that with these dimensions and construction, they need work to perform smooth carve turns.

The Dictator's divided opinion, but essentially if you aren't a professional freeride skier, then best avoid them (in our opinion). Fortunately the Dancer's seem a little more accessible, but they are still a full-on, hard charging, powerful freeride ski that demand respect from riders of any level. Despite the skis power, they are playful enough in all conditions, all over the mountain - but when it comes to dancing, think more mosh pit than ballet

Faction Dancer 3X W 2022-2023

 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

Consumer Reports

The Faction Dictator 2.0X is an ideal ski for the value-seeking ripper-chick. It loves to roll around at high speeds, providing outstanding edge-hold and stability, and carves a clean arc with the best of the skis in our test. In choppy snow and difficult conditions, the Dictator mounts a military coup, razing down everything in its path. Faction is offering a powerful ski for an affordable price.
The Dictator needs a highly competent skier to drive it precisely. This ski is not a great choice for beginner to intermediate skiers who are still gaining confidence; these skis are bossy. You need to tell them who is actually in charge rather than allowing them to rule with impunity. This ski also lacks the exceptional flotation in powder that some skis in our review boast. However, if you are a highly skilled and assertive skier who wants a dependable ski for a good price, look no further than the Faction Dictator.

Best Skis for Women of 2022 - GearLab

 At 95mm underfoot, the Dictator 2.0X is a versatile off-piste performer that's more than capable in deep snow but you might want something a little wider if you're heading in the direction of Japanese powder. All in all, a really solid, if not particularly playful ski that will satisfy powerful, confident female skiers. Whilst it definitely requires a solid drive, if you like to be in the front then you'll be pleased with how the Dictator 2

0X is a classic freeride, flat tail ski that demands to be skied with power, commitment and grandes cojones (or the female equivalent). With two layers of Titanal surrounding a lightweight poplar/paulownia core, the Dictator 2.0X has been built with strength and stability in mind and delivers excellent edge hold if you fully commit to the carve.
