The 2027 Dynastar M-Cross 82 with Tyrolia Attack 14 GW Bindings sits below the 88 and sharpens the focus toward the trail without going full race. It shares the wider 88's hybrid wood and PU core, H-shaped titanal frame, and pin-tailed shape, but pairs them with a frontside-friendly waist, for a quick, all-mountain carver that is at home on groomers and ready to keep going when the snow starts falling. We paired the M-Cross 82 with the Tyrolia Attack 14 GW because of the Attack’s light weight, reliability, and ease-of-use for all mountain and freeride skiers. Additionally, ample elastic travel and direct power transmission function to ensure these bindings cater perfectly to the needs of demanding freeriders.

Why we like it:

Where most skis at this width tend toward a longer turn radius, the 82 keeps things short, so it darts from edge to edge and turns easily at moderate speeds rather than asking you to commit to one big sweeping turn.

Who it's for:

Intermediate and advanced skiers who do the bulk of their skiing on groomers and want energetic carving without expert-level demands. It is a great move up from a rental ski into something more capable, and a smart pick for resort skiers who want one ski tuned for hard snow that still works when it softens.

Highlights:

The 82 takes the M-Cross recipe and tunes it for hard snow. A narrower waist makes it noticeably quicker edge to edge than the 88, and the pin-tailed shape gives every turn a smooth, easy release that is especially welcome at moderate speeds. The H-shaped titanal reinforcement underfoot supplies the damping and edge hold, while a Hybrid Core 2.0 of tri-directional poplar and PU keeps it from feeling dead. An 82 mm waist keeps the footprint trail-focused and sharp. With a low stand height of just 17 millimeters, the 2027 Tyrolia Attack 14 offers an impressively close connection to the snow, delivering precise power transmission and a confident, locked-in feel. The FR Pro3 toe piece allows for a full 180 degrees of boot release, enhancing safety in a variety of fall scenarios, while the AFS (Anti-Friction Slider) ensures reliable re-centering and consistent release characteristics. Built to withstand hard use, the Attack 14 combines durability with performance, making it a go-to option for aggressive skiers who demand trust in their gear.

Things to consider:

At this width, the 82 has clear limits in soft snow. If you see real powder days on any regular basis, step up to the M-Cross 88, which keeps the same shape philosophy on a wider, more versatile platform.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Most skiers can stay at their usual length, dropping down for tighter, more energetic turns or holding their normal frontside length for higher groomer speeds.
