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.

 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.

 In doing so, we only have to use a quarter of the material to maintain the stiffness and dampening properties of traditional sheets of aluminum in skis. The flex of the ski is about a 7, giving good edge hold through the middle of the ski, and it gets slightly softer in the tip and tail, so it's not overly aggressive. The flex of the Skyline is about a 7, which is one of our stiffer profiles, but because of that, you get really good edge hold through the middle of the ski, but the tip and tail are a little bit softer for easier turn initiation and a more playful ride. Our polomide top sheets are derived from sustainably sourced castor bean oil and help with snow shedding and are resistant to scratches, making them more durable overall

 The only downside is stickers don't really stick to them. Especially with our go forth and slay pow tagline, our UHMW sidewalls are super lightweight, but don't sacrifice on impact resistance. We also use a pre-cured fiberglass binding plate, which helps with overall binding retention and makes them compatible with tele bindings, unlike a lot of other skis in this category. Our high-end centered 4000 base is super fast, and it's primarily black, which makes repairs a lot easier

Our high-end centered 4000 base is super fast, and it's primarily black, which makes repairs a lot easier. The Skylines are my go-to for when I want to go further in the mountains, but I don't know what's ahead of me because I know they're going to be there for me in any conditions.

The Skyline is our latest addition to the ski lineup. Designed for long tours that lead to steeps and variable conditions, the Skyline is going to lead the charge uphill while providing a reliable edge on the down. To achieve this we've combined a 95mm ski with our Freeride camber-dominant ski profile - there's just the right amount of reverse camber in the nose to help keep you afloat, while the 3.5mm or more of camber maintains snap and edgehold and the flat to early rise tail allows the tail to release when you need it too. We pair this with a ultralight core composed of paulownia and aluminum stringers, with a carbon fiber overlay. The paulownia and carbon keep things ultralight while the horizontal aluminum provides dampening similar to a full metal ski while weighing in at only 1500 grams in a 184cm.

With the Mission Series, Weston has teamed up with Diné Navajo artist, Vernan Kee, and the National Forest Foundation to support the Wood For Life Tribal Fuelwood Initiative. The program responsibly redistributes firewood from forest restoration projects to indigenous communities for cooking and heating their homes in winter.

 Hi, my name is Alex, and today we've got our brand new Skyline ski for the 22-23 season.

 As part of this program, wood from forest rehabilitation projects will be donated to

 local native reservations and used for heating and cooking in the homes.

 Unlike a lot of skis in this category that are really stiff and aggressive, our new Skyline

 The Skyline is more traditional in shape compared to some of our other offerings, with the 184

 length being 95mm underfoot, and that shrinks and stays proportional as we go smaller in

 The side cut is 18m for the 184, and also varies with length.

 The ski has a large camber zone, giving good edge hold and control in variable conditions,

 but one of the unique features of this ski is an extended rocker zone in the nose for

 exceptional float considering how narrow it is.

 The tail of the ski is relatively flat, giving a more traditional feel though, creating a

 really unique combination throughout the profile.

 Another cool aspect of the Skyline is its core.

 We use a full Polonia core for weight savings, but unlike a lot of other skis, we use very

 vertical aluminum stringers instead of the traditional horizontal stringers.

 In doing so, we only have to use a quarter of the material to maintain the stiffness
