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.

 Really good edge grip, short long turns, it takes everything in its stride. It's a 79mm waist width so you could then also take that off the edge and go into some different terrain if you did want to. It would probably stand up really well to that but obviously it does shine mostly on the piece. It's got Head's light tech technology so basically it means it's really super light but also it doesn't lose any of that firmness and confidence on the piece

 Very stable and if you're maybe a more nervous skier this is something that would be really good for you. £470 so including bindings that's a really, really good price point, very good sort of entry level ski if you're an intermediate skier and just want something to take up your game on the piece this winter.

to pick out skis for them but personally as a female skier having a bunch of men pick out and decide on skis that they never personally have skied, never will ski, and even if they did would have a completely different experience on due to average differences in body size/weight/strength doesn't do us any benefit. I think a lot of women become discouraged from the sport and don't progress as they should from bad experiences and improper equipment. For beginner/early intermediate skiers, some women's skis I recommend looking into are the Black Pearl 82 (it's heavily recommended and a best seller for a reason), the Volkl Flair 76, Blizzard Phoenix 7.2, the Head Absolut Joy

 For beginner/early intermediate skiers, some women's skis I recommend looking into are the Black Pearl 82 (it's heavily recommended and a best seller for a reason), the Volkl Flair 76, Blizzard Phoenix 7.2, the Head Absolut Joy. Out of those options the Black Pearl 82 would be the most versatile and would be the least likely to outgrow quickly.

Picked up a pair of women's Head Wild Joy skis for my wife who has never skied a day in her life. I went to a highly reputable ski shop in the SLC area and really trusted the employee who sold them to me. When I got home, I started doing research and learned that the Head Wild Joy is an expert-level ski. Reviews I read included words like, 'not forgiving', 'technical', etc. I kept mentioning to the guy that I thought they felt stiff af. Turns out they are a 9/10 stiffness. 

Should I return them? Will they really be THAT hard to learn on? My wife absolutely loves them for the color.

 This ski's been around for a couple years. Just has a really nice following.

 It is 79 millimeters underfoot, and this 158 generates a 12.2 meter turn radius. So in terms of that width, you know, we're not quite at that 80 millimeter mark, but the upper 70s is a great place to be if you're spending most or all of your time on groomed terrain and more, you know, more smooth slopes.

 We've got a head absolute joy for you today.

 This ski's been around for a couple years.

 They use a composite wood core in this ski, as well as graphene to make it stiffer.

 Graphene's very light and very stiff, so when added to that composite wood core, it does

 give this ski a little bit of a boost of power for sure.

 But really they're keeping things pretty darn light.

 They have, I would call it more of a half cap sidewall construction.

 So starting with the top of the ski, they are tapering it down, that cap down, and then

 the sidewall ends, you know, closer to the ends of the skis, probably almost in line

 with the rocker, where the rocker profile starts.

 So that gives you the blend of, you know, a light quick cap construction with the edge

 grip and stability of a vertical sidewall.
