    Recommend a ski: something like my Faction Dictators 3 but burly/er

    My Dictators might have met their untimely demise with a delam from my habit of billygoating and sometimes bashing rocks.

    Love the skis, but need something that can take a hit a little better. That and the fact that they changed the name to "Dancer" makes it difficult for me to purchase another pair.

    So is there something like that out on the market? I like the ON3P construction (love my BGs), but don't know if they make anything similar to the Dictators (w/ metal) that can take hard charging hardpack bumps and steeps with lot of rocks with a middle-aged dad-bod type riding them.

    Length of your dictators? Your height/weight? Want to recommend the Heritage FL105s, but need those figures first.

    185s then. A few meters longer sidecut than your dictators, probably one whole cm shorter, actual length. Smoother, heavier construction, but no metal.

    I’ve got some minty, very little use Supernatural 108’s in a 186 with some attack 13’s mounted, if you’re interested.

    Gonna drop a rec for the Moment Commanders. I have the 22-23 108s and they absolutely truck through crud/variable but the little bit of early rise allows you to shut them down when needed. Smoked some rocks pre-season and they barely show it. The new 102s may fit your use case.

    Thanks guys, so far I'm waiting to see if Faction will take care of these. That'll determine if I take these recommendations or go with some new "Dancers". Skiing my rocks skis the last few days has been enlightening, I definitely need more ski dammit.
