Dynastar CR 72 Pro Express review 2014
PROSKILAB™ reviewers' comments
The Dynastar CR 72 is much too carving-oriented to score well in this category where we're looking for a ski that's accessible above all else. This is a ski for average to good enthusiasts looking for an 'easy' carving tool.
Review: Pros
- The Dynastar CR 72 Pro Express is a sharply incisive ski that's a real pleasure to ride. It's also an invitation to carving. The ski tilts on its edge and glides effortlessly, distilling some amazing sensations in its wake.
Review: Cons
- The CR 72 has been designed to cut and carve. Unfortunately, the tail tends to anchor in skid turns, reducing its accessibility for less experienced skiers.
