Dancer 79 Casablanca
£749.00
For Casablanca, it’s all about looking at the beauty of the world.
The same goes for us at Faction.
The Dancer 79 Casablanca is a meeting point for our appreciation for timeless beauty. The Dancer 79 represents mastery on the mountain’s piste. It’s the culmination of decades of freeride and all-mountain expertise, distilled into the brand’s all-new piste ski. Designed for rhythm, control, and flow, the Dancer 79 thrives on the groomed runs of the world’s grand alpine resorts; what we call la piste de danse.
Casablanca Paris brings its own perspective to this canvas. The fashion house known for its luxurious reimagining of après-sport, draws inspiration from the clay courts and terracotta warmth of North Africa, refined through the lens of French tailoring. This collaboration translates their universe into a new environment: snow.
Together, Faction and Casablanca celebrate a shared heritage of sport and artistry. The Dancer 79 Casablanca invites skiers to carve turns that will stick with them forever; to glide through each run as if it were nature’s dance floor.

product features
Poplar Core
Poplar is a light-colored, medium-weight, and durable softwood with excellent flex and vibration absorption. It enhances performance by providing impressive pop, buttering, and stability. Poplar ensures skis offer exceptional grip and torsional stability on the downhill and in the park.
Dual Span Titanal
Titanal is a top-tier, sturdy metal alloy with isotropic strength, meaning it’s equally strong in all directions. This quality ensures skis that love being on edge, blasting through bumps, and staying stable in variable snow, making Titanal the ideal chassis for your dream freeride ski.
Mustache Flex
The 'Moustache Flex' pattern is ideal for most skiers. It offers stability in front of and behind the binding for solid edge hold, with a smooth, progressive flex in the tips and tails to absorb bumps and snow debris. Perfect for progression and easier turn initiation and finish.
Elliptical Sidecut
The Elliptical Sidecut features a longer radius underfoot for quicker, easier pivots, and shorter radius in the tip and tail for effortless turn initiation. This innovative sidecut supports a wide range of turn lengths, angles, and mounting positions, enhancing your skiing versatility and control.
Recycled Materials
We work closely with production partners to eliminate material waste. We mix base, sidewall and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining the same level of quality & durability.
Full Strength Sidewall
Experience superior edge hold and stability with the XL Full Strength sidewall. This construction adds protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage. Enhanced durability and performance with every season, peak and itinerary.
Anti-Chip Micro-Cap
The Anti-chip Micro Cap protects the ski's tips and tails from wear and tear. Where the ski's topsheet wraps around and meets the sidewall, this delicate area is shielded by the Micro Cap. This protects from chipping and additional sidewall damage, each day you set out on the mountain.

About the artwork
We came together with Casablanca Paris to create something that's completely singular. The Dancer 79 Casablanca unites Faction’s first pure piste ski with Casablanca’s luxurious modern après-sport aesthetic. Inspired by the sunbaked terracotta tones and crisp whites of Casablanca’s universe, this design is at home on this brand-new ski.
Skis Size Guide
Find your size with our expert advice video:
As explained in our video guide above, choosing the right ski length depends on a mix of different factors. On a basic level, height, weight and ability should give you a good idea of what length of ski you should go for.
As a rule of thumb, start with a ski around nose to eyebrow level height.
If you are just starting out, or at an intermediate level, then we suggest that you take some length off. If you’re a more advanced/expert skier, then we suggest you should push your ski length towards your full height or even further. If you are heavier than the average weight for your size, feel free to add some ski length as well.
