For 2025, the Dynastar M-Free 99 has undergone subtle modifications, enhancing both liveliness and stability while retaining its advanced shape. Paired here with a Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings, it stands out as one of the premier tree skis available, and its ability to perform equally well in the park and on groomers underscores its exceptional versatility across the mountain. We paired the M Free 99 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

The M-Free 99’s seamless transition from trees to groomers to the park is remarkable, making it an outstanding choice for a one-ski quiver.

Who it's for:

Upper intermediate to expert skiers seeking a versatile ski that excels in every mountain environment will find the M-Free 99 to be the perfect fit for their needs.

Highlights:

The M-Free 99 features Dynastar’s Hybrid Core, which uses fewer adhesives to reduce weight while maintaining a robust flex pattern. This core is constructed more sustainably than previous versions, lessening its environmental impact. Polyurethane is applied to the outside of the core, also without heavy adhesives, to enhance weight savings and provide excellent vibration damping and smoothness. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

The size range for the M-Free 99 is somewhat limited, spanning from 171 cm to 185 cm. While the M-Free 90 offers more size options, it is a distinct ski with different characteristics. If you fall within the size range of the 99, you’re in luck.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These generally run true to size but may feel slightly shorter due to the rocker profile. Opt for a larger size if you prioritize stability and power.
