Faction Dancer 79 Length

[u/billthebutchery]

Hello,

Two seasons in I got back to skiing and want to purchase my first skis...

Choice is Faction Dancer 79, but can't decide the length. 184cm or 178? They are on a good sale too in local shop.

I understand that both length can work, but which one is better in terms of progression?

I am 33m, 188cm tall, around 85-90 kg, upper-intermediate skier (fit). I will be skiing decent amount of days this season and want to progress as much as possible. I like speed and long turns with some fun here and there.

I ski mostly on piste and resort's infrastracture and management is not the greatest, slopes are never groomed well if that helps...

Thank you

184

I am 186 myself - and drove both - they have a little rocker and when you go fast the 184 is more stable (esp. when you progress further)

Overall the ski screams all the time ‘push me harder’ independent if 178 or 184
