The read

A groomed-run carver built purely for piste, this ski pairs razor-thin titanal sheets with a parabolic shape and minimal rocker for grip and stability at speed. Its waist sits wider than most piste skis in the catalog, and its medium-radius sidecut leans toward versatile arcs rather than tight pivots. Notably light for its category, it suits intermediate through expert skiers who want a composed, energetic frontside ski without a heavy, demanding feel.

Specs & what they mean

What the Dancer 79 TI's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 16.0-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

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 1,580 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.

Float & width

At 79 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
