PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments

Our reviewers really loved this ski. While its roots are based in Ski Cross and the slalom, the Contact Cross is an exceptionally versatile and well-balanced ski. It matches our "Advanced" criteria perfectly. Always enjoyable, it's suitable for a wide range of skiers from intermediary to expert, looking for an excellent "pleasure-generating" alpine ski that is effective, comfortable and easy to use.

Review: Pros

  • The Dynastar Contact Cross is an excellent ski and the reviewers were hugely impressed by its overall qualities. Incredibly user-friendly, the contact cross adapts well to every technique (both skid turns and carves) and to all kinds of terrain. In turns, the ski digs in easily and its great contact with the snow, excellent pressure distribution and solid grip on packed snow make turn management both enjoyable and fluid. While a typical Ski Cross-type ski (discipline promoting performance in long turns), the ski performs well in all types of radius. This combination of performance, comfort and user-friendliness add up to a highly enjoyable ski that offers a wealth of sensations.

Review: Cons

  • This highly user-friendly ski requires a minimum of physical effort for maximum performance.
