"There can only be one King" With the Faction Dictator 3.0 fully living up to the billing. This Big Mountain lightweight powerful monster was made for maniacs like me. Took my new boards out on the first day of the season last November on the limited early season snowpack. New boards were not impressed with the early hard groomed surface. Spent the rest of the day skiing No Man's Land under the lift were the junky post holed fun stuff lay. These boards loved the funk smoothing out and creating bump lines. Needed to stash the new skis until most of the mountain opened as the need some acreage to run at full speed.
Stats - 6foot 250# daily Killington skier
Dictator 3.0 @ 182cm 132-105-121
Binding Attack 13 Demo
For the first 3 months of the season I chose between my Renoun Endurance 98's and the Faction Dictators with the Renouns getting the call for 44 days compared to the 15 days the Factions made it out onto the snow. Loved diving the Dictators into wind loaded powder drifts letting the snow explode under my feet. They paved thru chowder and crud without flinching. Eerie how smooth they moved thru broken up snow as they could care less if I wanted to make some carves or just straightline. This is too much ski and just not a fun ski to run on the normal hard eastern snow surface but when we get some snow or softer conditions these boards will come out to play. They are a keeper and will be getting lots of action with the looming spring soft conditions. Will be letting a few friends give them a whirl to get some feedback from others. Not a ski for the timid or faint of heart.
