Product Info
Looking for a frontside ski that eats blue ice and crud for breakfast? Then the Faction Dictator 1.0 Skis are your answer. Laid up with two layers of Titanal metal that sandwich the lightweight Paulownia/Poplar core, the Dictator 1.0 Skis live to go fast and lay trenches in the hardpack. A World Cup inspired dual-radius sidecut allows these skis to retain a quick edge-to-edge responsiveness while also being incredibly stable and controlled at high speeds. For warp speed groomer laps, thigh-burning mogul runs, and off-piste chunder charging, the Faction Dictator 1.0 Skis lay down the law.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Camber / Rocker – 360mm rocker in the tip, 3mm camber underfoot, and 200mm rocker in the tail.
Flex
Stiff Flex – 7/10 - Designed to provide bite and stability in steep terrain and variable snow.
Sidecut
Dual-Radius Sidecut – Borrowed from world cup race skis, two different radii on the one ski - a tighter radius forward of the boot center coupled with a 20% larger sidecut behind - lets Faction increase the edge-to-edge responsiveness so you can carve short turns whilst retaining high speed stability and control through the tail of the ski.
Core
Paulownia / Poplar Core – A lightweight wood core with excellent responsiveness and rebound, complimenting and offsetting the two full layers of Titanal metal that they sandwich on either side of it.
Laminates
Dual Titanal – Equally strong in all directions, Titanal's strength and isotropic qualities mean that the ski loves being on edge, blasts through bumps and feels stable even in changeable snow.
Sidewalls
Microcap Construction – Sandwich construction provides awesome edge hold while the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, adding durability to the fragile join that can be prone to chipping.
Graphics
Brushed Topsheet
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.
- Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius

Tail Type:
Full Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
