Thanks for putting this up. I’ve been kinda blah on this ski, but your review got me pumped to try the new Dynastar lineup.MFree 108 192 review.
Me: 50yo, 5’10” 215lbs, fuck you covid and busted achilles. Normally 190.
My strength is getting better but not quite where I was or want to be.
Mounted on the line.
So far I have 2 days on them in a wide array of conditions.
It took me about three turns to figure out their preferred stance and how to engage the edge. After that it was auto pilot carve machines and boy can they carve.
Detune: I as always detune anything that isn’t side cut. All the taper section in the tips and tails got a detune with a gummy.
Firm with ice patches:
Tip them over, stand on them with some boot cuff pressure and they rail like they shouldn’t be able to. I was really impressed. Really fun making any carve shape you wanted. They hook up with confidence and don’t do anything weird.
Soft chop on groomers: They don’t Care, set an edge and stand on them and just mob.
Firm chop on groomers: same deal, just ignore the slight tip flap as they calm down about 6-8” into the ski and go quiet under foot, totally planted.
6-8” of soft-ish chop: slight tip plow, super planted underfoot. Not a crusher like the LP105 but that’s ok, not what this ski is to be.
Pow: Hot damn they are fun and float above their waist width. Super surfy and zero hooking. Tips come right up and game on! Super easy to pivot in tight places as well.
Wind effected packed pow: So easy to ski, zero hooking or even a slight hint at it. Make any turn shape you want. Very effortless here as well.
This ski is a really really good ski. Not many skis get that response from me. The more I’m on it the better it seems to become. It’s so damn easy to ski yet can flat haul ass without any issues. It has a very playful side as well as a charger side. I would absolutely categorize this ski as a playful charger. Guys who know me know I like to ski fast and this ski does it without hesitation yet will pop and play or pivot effortlessly through tight spots.
Well done Dynastar, I have been wanting a ski like this for a while now.
