The read

The Dancer 4 is a freeride ski built for powder and big-mountain terrain, with a waist among the widest in its category cohort for maximum float. Two razor-thin titanal sheets and a heavier-than-average build deliver damping and stability in crud and variable snow. Its long-radius, high-weight character suits intermediate through expert skiers who want a composed, stable platform on consequential terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Dancer 4's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 23.0-meter radius is a straight-line shape — it resists tight turns and is built to run long and fast, with a moderate taper that keeps the tip planted.

Stability & dampness

A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 2,170 g there's real mass behind the metal to settle it at speed.

Float & width

At 116 mm this is a powder width, built to stay on top in deep snow and surf rather than carve. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
