Dynastar M-Vertical 88 (Backcountry Touring Ski 2021/2022)

From couloir hunting to summit bagging, the Dynastar M-Vertical 88 ski has a balanced technical feel that's equal parts ascent and descent.

Its Hybrid Core uses a blend of paulownia wood and polyurethane for a lightweight design that feels good on the climb and delivers a smooth ride on descent. Sandwich construction and full sidewalls provide confident edge control in technical terrain and varied conditions.

TIP ROCKER
Rocker moderate tip only. It facilitates the flat pivot while combining softness and tolerance in the curves. The rocker is moderated so that as soon as the ski is on the edge, the ski works in curve on the whole length of contact of the edges.

FULL SIDEWALL CONSTRUCTION
With the FULL SIDEWALL construction, full-length vertical edges from tip to tail help maximize grip, precision, balance and power.

HYBRID CORE PAULOWNIA PU
The Hybrid Core technology is combined with Pawlownia Core with a density of 300 g/m3, reducing the ski's weight by an average of 15 to 20% in comparison to a poplar core.

FIBRE BASALT 2NDE GENERATION
Similar mechanical properties to fibreglass but with a reduced weight (-25%). It also offers absorption properties, to create the ideal reinforcement for Touring/Free Touring.

SINTERED HD BASE
SINTERED HD BASE offers great glide for all ski conditions.

At the 2021/2022 ski test the skis in the category „Touring Skis Men 2“ were closely evaluated on the Mölltal Glacier. Tester's opinion: "The light “Dynastar” scores points both ascending as descending and leaves a good - almost very good - overall impression." In addition to a good test result, the Dynastar M-Vertical 88 has also won the gold medal in SnowStyle. >> Click here for the detailed review with all tested models!
