Voile Charger ACE vs Dynastar M-Tour 108
Hi crew,
Unfortunately, water has gotten into the core of my Voile SuperCharger touring skis and they are now massively base-high and the toe piece tore out a few days ago, so I'm on the hunt for the next pair. I've found I like skis with stiff tails, a poppy and energetic feel, and that are pretty directional. I really like my Dynastar M-Pro 99's as my daily drivers. They feel snappy, poppy (rebounding out of turns and moguls), but are mounted fairly directionally.
My SuperChargers have been my only touring skis so far. They're great in soft snow, a bit rough on firm. But from some other reviews, seems like they also are quite stiff in the tails. They're a bit chattery on icy or firm conditions and tend to get knocked around a bit, but I don't think I want to go much heavier than they are (haven't been able to find a review that lists the weight from my specific model year, but current ones are about 1600g).
Two main skis that I'm considering
Dynastar M-Tour 108 - From reviews, they sound like they ski similar to the M-Tours, though in a lighter package. I like the M-Pro's and from reading reviews, sounds like M-Tours have a lot of the same characteristics (energetic, stiff tails, directional) while still being very lightweight.
Voile Charger ACE - Similar in shape to the SuperChargers, love the all-white topsheet. Slightly lighter than the SuperChargers, but the new construction makes it a damper ride (supposedly). They come in a bit heavier than the M-Tours, but lighter than what I'm currently used to.
Anyone have experience they can speak to on either of them? Is there anything else I should consider in that 100-108 waist width, a good do-it-all for CO conditions?
Quick about me:
6'2", 185lbs, expert skier.
Really enjoy my Dynastar M-Pro 99's. They're lively, poppy, energetic, and flickable.
I also enjoy my 2018 Voile SuperChargers, but looking to see if another ski solves some of the things I don't like.
I tour with 2022 Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD's and have Salomon MTN pin bindings.
Thanks very much!
