Backcountry days demand a different kind of ski, and the Dynastar M-Tour 100 is built for them. Borrowing its shape from the inbounds M-Pro 100 TI but using a lightweight version of the Hybrid Core 2.0 and skipping the titanal, the M-Tour 100 climbs efficiently and skis playfully on the way down. A progressive rocker profile, full sidewall construction, and a hundred-millimeter waist add up to a versatile touring platform that handles powder, crud, and firm snow without flinching.

Why we like it:

The shape comes straight from the inbounds M-Pro 100 TI, which is a meaningful design decision. Most touring skis lean on a softer flex pattern to keep the weight down, but the M-Tour 100 keeps the directional shape and rocker profile of a serious downhill ski, which translates to a touring ski that genuinely skis well rather than just climbing well.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert backcountry skiers who want a versatile touring ski that doesn't sacrifice downhill performance for uphill efficiency. Especially well-suited to skiers chasing real backcountry days who want one ski for variable conditions, from late-spring corn to mid-winter powder.

Highlights:

The M-Tour 100 uses Dynastar's lightweight version of the Hybrid Core 2.0, swapping in a lighter poplar layup paired with PU to drop weight without losing the smooth, damp ride character that defines the line. Unidirectional fiberglass adds torsional stiffness, and a sandwich full sidewall construction keeps edge engagement crisp on firm snow. The shape borrows directly from the inbounds M-Pro 100 TI platform, which means a directional shape with progressive tip and tail rocker for float in soft snow and a short turn radius for tight terrain. Adaptiv Sidecut smooths the transition into and out of the carve, and the Sintered HD base offers strong glide for an alpine touring ski. The result is a meaningfully lighter ski than the inbounds counterpart while keeping a downhill personality that rewards strong skiing.

Things to consider:

The lightweight construction and absence of titanal create a clear speed ceiling in chunky, refrozen snow. Skiers who routinely ski hard at high speeds in variable backcountry conditions may want a heftier touring ski.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Pick your usual touring length. Bumping up a length adds float and stability for big-line days, while sizing down keeps things nimble for tight couloirs.
