Frontside carving with a side of all-mountain capability is what the Dynastar M-Cross 82 W brings to the table. A poplar and PU hybrid wood core, an H-shaped titanal reinforcement underfoot, and a short turn radius give the ski an energetic carving feel, and the same pin-tailed shape that defines the wider M-Cross 88 W carries over here in a more frontside-friendly width. The result is a ski that's quick, engaging, and accessible for skiers progressing on hard snow.

Why we like it:

Adding a titanal frame to a women's ski at this width and price point is unusual. Most skis in this category lean on lighter construction and softer flex, but the M-Cross 82 W keeps the metal in place for a dampness and grip that delivers real performance when conditions firm up.

Who it's for:

Intermediate and advanced women who want a frontside-leaning all-mountain ski that's eager to carve but still useful when conditions vary. Particularly well-suited to skiers whose days mostly happen on groomed terrain and want a ski that rewards developing technique with real performance returns.

Highlights:

Construction is the same Hybrid Core 2.0 found across the Dynastar performance line, with poplar wood layered in three directions and PU around the perimeter for a damp, supportive feel that doesn't lean on heavy fiberglass. Titanal placed underfoot in an H-pattern delivers the edge grip and torsional stability that's rare in a women's ski at this width. The shape mirrors the wider M-Cross 88 W with a pin-tailed profile and a short turn radius, but the narrower waist makes the 82 W noticeably quicker edge-to-edge and more focused on hard-snow performance. Adaptiv Sidecut, a sandwich full sidewall, and a Sintered HD base complete the build, creating a ski that feels meaningfully sharper than typical women's all-mountain options at this width.

Things to consider:

The narrower waist limits soft-snow capability. Skiers who see meaningful powder days should look at the M-Cross 88 W, which uses the same construction template in a wider, more versatile platform.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizes true to length. Most skiers should pick the length that matches their usual frontside ski, or drop a size if they prioritize quickness over high-speed stability.
