Has anyone around here used the Dynastar Legends as a Tele ski?
I'm thinking about using the 4800 as a sub-80 waisted ski for using on icy hardpack. I've heard that it is a relatively easy flexing ski.
Can anyone comment on whether these might be decent skis for tele?
i know a couple of guys that use the 8000 as their resort tele....they both like them a lot...
Is the 4800 too noodly? The reason I'm looking at that one right now is because the waist is under 80. I thought it would be a soft, thinner waited ski that would be a good learning ski.
The 8000's would probably be great as a 2nd set for bigger hills and deeper snow I'm thinking.
4800 is soft'ish, and not a bad learner ski... also really fun for spring runs and moguls. 8000 would be better option for after you've learned a bit. Like Booker said, I'm sure you could make the 8000 work from the start as well.
Well, I picked up these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=009
For $99, how could you pass it up?? I know they'll be really soft, but they'll be alright for learning.
I'll get some bigger, badder's after I learn to tele and decide that it's what I want to do.
What?? Your not going to throw down for the most expensive skis made THEN decide its not right for you????
Well, that almost sounds smart!!!
$600 for skis, boots, and bindings. Hope I like this!! ;)
I was going to suggest these for a skinny MN ripper:

but the Dynastars should work fine.
I think in a perfect world I would've picked up some G3 Tickets, but hey - skis on the cheap? Why not! :)Quote:

My Scarpa T1's just arrived today. I'll have to get get'em cooked this week. Bindings should be here on Friday - not sure about the skis yet however.
I didn't buy 'em (although I was tempted), I have the Kongurs mounted tele and like them a lot. But the skinnier Dirans might be more appropriate most days at Welch.
