Dynastar website is borked today, suspicious. Going to recklessly speculate that while updating the product pages the raw sexual energy of the LPReplacement overwhelmed their servers. Anyone know if the 2023 catalogue is inbound?

Reversed marble countertop. How original!

They are supposedly Japanese trees - so perhaps they look similar, yet different up close. Time will tell.

I know they’re Japanese trees. I still think my tips look like marble countertops.

[2FUNKY]

They’re counter tops…

They have to be counter tops. It explains their ability to be used for hate banging.

I'm bummed on the graphics. While I like the current graphics, I was hoping for something new just to mix it up a bit.

[2FUNKY]

Yeah, super creative just flipping the old graphic. [emoji849]

[DarthMarkus]

Pretty sure there's a post floating around about the process of creating the m-free graphics. If I'm not mistaken, one of the possible options on the graphic was very similar to what the 22/23 m-free is. I think it looks pretty sweet...

yup - good recollection there DarthMarkus!

[2FUNKY]

Pretty sure it went like this;
Bro, sick counter top!
Yeah bro, be super sick ski top sheet.
Br0! Absolutely!
Tada…..

"no serious skier would be caught dead commenting on a ski’s graphics"

motherfucker I will comment as I see fit

and my comment is this, I'd give my left nut for one of those topsheets that swaps marble for wood grain

[TAFKALVS]

Someone say topsheets?

I can spill more beans soon, but this was on social... so fair game.

If the 192 M-Pro 108 has a reasonably traditional mount and some heft, not sure how I'm not gonna buy one. Thanks for this TAFKALVS; can't wait to hear more.

Anyone been on the Mpro 90? I just ordered some next year's 186 for next season when it's shitty and icy here in Whistler. Are they exactly the same as this year's?

Is the Mpro going to be like the MFree with metal? Am I going to want both? When would someone choose the MPro over the MFree?

So many questions, especially when I like the looks of the MPro better. Plus it sounds cooler to ski on a Pro ski.

Man I hope not. The distinction between the two is pretty on point. I definitely don't want them to change the m-free 108. Maybe change the 99 and make the 118 in a longer size.

Based on LWS' comments in the 22-23 Gear Rumors thread, it sounds like that line might be blurring.

"More info on the new Dynastar:

Same lengths as the Mfree108.

110mm waist on the 192 size, skinnier as the length goes down. Slightly wider waist width for more versatility in soft snow conditions at FWT venues.

Sounds like the ski is designed to charge as hard as the current LP105, still very damp and planted but also going to be more fun to ski in tight spots, easier to release when needed, etc due to more progressive shape and rocker profile. Basically trying to bring all the good qualities of the LP105 and the Mfree108 together in one super ski."

[scottishrider]

Any info on the M-Pro 85? I believe this years M-Pro 84 was just a rebadged Legend 84. Hopefully less taper and titanal rocketframe added to this to make a good option for the other end of the quiver?

I know marketing people say a lot of stupid shit, but how the hell can a firm that lives off creating packaging of a product - aka pure esthetics and branding - manage to write something some increadibly dumb and pretentious? I mean, god damn.

As for the one depicted above - how the play with glossy and matte finishes is rather appealing imho, looks great.

I have one day on my. Also, the weather and plans look like I will be on them again this Saturday.

I like them and had a lot of fun. I felt they had good edge hold, carved well, had good energy out of the turns. Happy being driven, but not punishing if just cruising. Felt good on, steep, afternoon softer sun warmed bumps; I haven’t had them on any other off-piste situations yet. I kinda felt like a kid again cruising on my poplar core Big Max circa 1997.

Pretty confident that my Bonafides (99) have become my rock skis. Well, maybe not until I get a M Pro 99.

Good call by Dynastar to keep the overall theme constant IMO. Really Dynastar is rebuilding their brand identity around the new M series of skis and consumers on the mountain should be able to quickly recognize what they are looking at when they see a M-Pro or M-free. The changes keep it new but clearly recognizable.
