What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I took these out on a powder morning at a resort with a lot of natural terrain features, and the tip and tail rocker made popping off little side hits feel effortless. The 108mm waist gave me all the float I wanted without turning into a chore once I dropped back onto groomers."A powder morning asks a lot of a ski, and the Dynastar M-Free 108 Ski answers by staying playful even as the terrain gets serious. Point it toward an untouched pocket of snow between the trees, and the progressive tip and tail rocker lifts you up and over variable snow instead of fighting through it, leaving room to bounce off a stump or slash a wind lip on the way down. Underneath that playful feel sits a Hybrid Core 2. 0 built from a three direction wood layup and foam, giving the ski a smooth, damp ride without the weight of a traditional wood core. Full sidewall construction keeps the edges locked in when you drop back onto firmer snow, while the Adaptiv Sidecut smooths the transition from tip to tail so turns stay fluid whether you're carving a groomer or slashing through crud on the way to the next stash.
