Dynastar 2011 ski reviews

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...

The Dynastar Booster 10 got a ‘reviewers favourite’ rating and they gave it top marks for its technical potential. It’s a great choice for post beginner to intermediate skiers who want to enjoy themselves and feel safe at the same time, and who are looking for a ski that will keep pace as they advance while helping them to develop their technical skills.

The reviewers gave the Dynastar Spin a resounding thumbs up as it corresponds perfectly to our "Freestyle" criteria, where we're looking for a ski that gives excellent park performance and can follow the piste. We recommend this vivacious and agile ski for freestylers searching for performance and versatility. The reviewers didn't test the ski in freeride, but with its parabolic shape and 87mm underfoot,...

The Dynastar Exclusive Elite ranks high in the "Advanced" category where we're looking for a well-balanced ski above all. It combines performance, polyvalence, comfort and pleasure and is an excellent choice for good to expert thrill-seeking skiers looking for a great all-round ski.

The reviewers loved this ski. It's great for the Giant slalom, offering excellent performance without being simply a "long-radius turns on hard snow" ski. It's a good choice for experienced and sports-oriented skiers who would prefer a powerful tool that is relatively polyvalent rather than a thoroughbred, cutting-edge and highly demanding racing ski.

The Sultant 80 is well placed in the "Polyvalent Freeride" category, designed for 70% piste/30% off-piste use. Its facility/performance combination make it ideal for a range of skiers, from pre-intermediate to expert, who are looking for a ski that's agreeable and can perfom well on groomed slopes, while able to show off its talent off-piste. It should be noted that the size we tested (172cm) was considered... Read on

The Exclusive Active is a very good progressive ski. This model’s target is quite similar to Rossignol’s Attraxion III Echo, in other words the beginner to intermediate skier. Our reviewers also judged the design to be particularly successful.

The Sultan 85 is a very good, well-balanced mixed ski, 50% freeride/50% piste. Dynastar has developed a true all-rounder here, a "4-wheel drive" that's able to adapt to all situations. It's suitable for a wide range of skiers, from competent freeriders who want to make progress to pro riders. Just make sure you don't choose one that's too short.
