Faction DANCER 99 TI Ski Set + Bindings

The Faction Dancer 99 Ti is an all-mountain alpine ski designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a ski capable of handling all types of mountain terrain, from groomed runs to occasional off-piste excursions. With a waist width of 99 mm, it falls into a versatile category that allows for both sharp turns on hard snow and good float in fresh snow. Its construction combines lightness and torsional stiffness to offer stability at high speeds and responsiveness during changes in pace. The Faction Dancer 99 Ti is designed for those seeking a single-ski solution capable of covering most of the mountain without major compromises on any terrain.

A hybrid profile designed for all-mountain versatility

The Dancer 99 Ti features a Rocker/Camber/Rocker profile, meaning rocker at the tip and tail combined with traditional camber underfoot. This profile choice is deliberate: the central camber ensures crisp edge grip on hard snow and dynamic rebound when exiting turns, while the rockers at the tips make it easier to initiate turns and improve float when the snow gets deeper. Progressive Flat Tail technology complements this design by incorporating a mostly flat tail for stability and speed, with targeted rocker that allows for pivoting in off-piste conditions without weighing down the ski’s overall performance.

Dimensions and turning radius: a balance between agility and precision

The dimensions of the 183 cm Faction Dancer 99 Ti are 132/99/123 mm, with a turning radius of approximately 19 m. This medium radius is suited for medium-sized turns—neither too short nor too long—offering great adaptability depending on your pace and the type of terrain. Elliptical Sidecut technology further refines this behavior: the radius is intentionally longer underfoot to facilitate pivoting, and shorter at the tip and tail to accelerate turn entry and exit. As a result, the ski engages naturally without requiring flawless technique, while rewarding a more committed skier with increased precision.

Construction: wood and Titanal core for stability and lightness

The Dancer 99 Ti’s construction is based on several complementary technologies that directly define its performance on snow. Here are the key elements of its structure:

• Poplar wood core: a lightweight wood that reduces the ski’s overall weight while maintaining good vibration damping.
• Dual Span Titanal: Two ultra-thin sheets of Titanal increase torsional stiffness, resulting in better edge grip at high speeds and on varied terrain.
• Mustache Flex: a flex rating of 8 out of 10, stable and powerful under the binding, progressive at the tip and tail, for a ski that withstands pressure without feeling punishing at the ends.
• XL 2.5 mm Edges: Reinforced edges that improve durability and grip on hard snow or ice.
• Anti-Chip Micro Cap: protection for the tips and tails against chipping, useful for preserving the ski’s integrity on rocky terrain or in challenging conditions.

The ski is manufactured in Austria, and Faction incorporates recycled materials into its manufacturing process—an approach that reflects a concrete commitment to the environment.

Who is this ski designed for?

With a flex rating of 8 out of 10 and two layers of Titanal, the Faction Dancer 99 Ti is not a forgiving ski designed for beginners: it requires sufficient physical effort to harness its torsional stiffness and take full advantage of its grip. An experienced intermediate or advanced skier who regularly skis on groomed runs and occasionally ventures off-piste will find this model to be a reliable companion. Available in 177 and 183 cm lengths, it adapts to different body types while maintaining the same performance characteristics. For a skier looking for a single ski capable of effectively covering the bulk of their skiing, the Dancer 99 Ti offers a solid and well-reasoned technical solution.
