The Dynastar M-Free Open 108 Skis is a freeride ski that really shines in soft snow and powder as it can smear, float, slash and pivot with the best of them. But it's more than just a one trick pony, it also is a very stable ski that is sturdy and stable at high speeds as well. This is in large part due to the skis construction, shape and profile. Dynastar uses their Hybrid wood core in the 108, consisting of a central chord of poplar wood surrounded by their polyurethane (PU) material which is the plastic found in a 120-flex alpine ski boot. This blend of wood and PU does make the ski feel and behave a lot burlier than the flex and rocker profile suggest, and that’s a testament to the designers and builders of these great powder skis. They’re not particularly light, and that helps with the stability and hard-charging capabilities as well. Keeping it all together is a fiberglass wrap which contributes to the snappy and poppy overall feel of the ski. In the 192-centimeter length, the skis have a 20-meter turn radius, so get ready to turn and burn and get more vertical than you can imagine. If you are the kind of skier that skis in an area with copious amounts of snow and likes to rip powder and send pillow lines, then the Dynastar M-Free Open 108 Skis are ready to take you into the white room.
