What materials are used in the construction of the Dancer 1?
The Dancer 1 is built with a focus on both performance and sustainability, using the following materials:
- Poplar Wood Core: Lightweight, medium-weight, and durable, poplar provides excellent flex and vibration absorption. This enhances the ski’s pop, buttering, and stability, while ensuring exceptional grip and torsional stability.
- Dual Span Titanal: Two razor-thin sheets of Titanal metal alloy are used for their isotropic strength (equally strong in all directions). This gives the ski outstanding edge hold, stability at high speeds, and the ability to blast through bumps and variable snow.
- Recycled Materials: The Dancer 1 incorporates recycled base, sidewall, and topsheet material scraps back into the raw material used for production. This reduces carbon emissions while maintaining quality and durability.
- Full Strength Sidewall: XL Full Strength sidewalls add protective strips along the core, shielding the woodcore, edges, and topsheet from impact and damage for enhanced durability and performance.
- Anti-Chip Micro-Cap (on some variants): Protects the ski’s tips and tails from wear and tear, reducing chipping and sidewall damage.
- Austrian Construction Powered by 100% Renewable Energy: The ski is crafted in Austria using renewable energy, emphasizing both quality and sustainability.
