2027 Faction Dancer 99 Skiswith Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Faction Dancer 99 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings is the most welcoming, easygoing all-mountain ski in the Dancer family. You get a light, nimble, forgiving ride in mixed snow, all while holding onto the smooth, energetic character the Dancer name carries. This is a ski that will make you want to go exploring without a hint of intimidation. We paired the Dancer 99 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

There is an easy, unforced quality to this ski that stretches a long day out, since you are not wrestling its weight run after run. The pop and energy are still on tap when you want them, just wrapped in a far more approachable package.

Who it's for:

Intermediate to advanced all-mountain skiers after one versatile ski that can roam the whole resort without asking for expert technique.

Highlights:

Width is the first thing you notice. A 99 mm waist floats reassuringly in soft snow yet stays manageable on firm terrain, a balance that is genuinely rare at this size. Backing it up, the rocker profile blends a generous tip rocker with camber underfoot and a measured tail rocker, so the ski pivots easily and never feels like a handful. The poplar wood core is the engine, light and lively, with enough natural damping to keep harsh chatter at bay when you let it run. Faction's XL edges add the kind of durability an all-mountain ski actually needs once it starts meeting rocks, ice, and everything between. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

This ski leans to the friendly side of the spectrum, a feature for its audience but a limit if you ski hard. Experts who push it in firm conditions will likely want the 99 Ti for its damping and grip. Skipping the metal also trims a little top-end stability when things get fast or chunky.

Fit & sizing considerations:

It skis true to length; if you want a quicker, more playful ride, size down, and if you are chasing stability and float, size up.
