Dynastar have a stunning women’s range for 2008/09. The Exclusive Active is not only a great looking ski but a fantastic performer for many advanced female skiers. With a versatile and agile 74 mm waist this ski is the “perfect 10″, you can take it anywhere; groomed runs, small off-piste forays and [...]

As ever with Dynastar they produce a very attractive and super-smooth ski. With an executive-aesthetic and a construction tailored to the all-mountain cruiser the Contact 4×4 is a lovely all-rounder for the skier looking for sleek design and a versatile, refined ride. Dynastar were originators of the “polyvalent” ski with the original [...]
Very pleasant all-run cruisers. If you are an intermediate to advanced skier looking for a classic all-mountain ski that is happy on any colour of run then the Contact 8 is happy to oblige. With a wide tip the ‘8 swoons into its arcs rather than dives, it is a relaxed ski, [...]
The D-Stinct Limited is the most versatile and performance orientated ski of the D-Stinct range. With a very useable and versatile 75 mm side-cut this ski carves like a piste ski but can also give you a decent platform when there is some fresh snow or spring snow.
Very much like the excellent Tornado [...]

Raving about the Contact Groove leads me on to the Contact 10. A slightly more versatile and all-mountain ski with its 72 mm underfoot. If you are after an adept carver but would like some versatility, as you would with an SUV then perhaps the ‘10 is a fraction more robust in [...]
As with the highly attractive Exclusive Fluid Limited, the Fluid is aimed at the upper levels of female skiers. Snappy performance, a slalom-esque side-cut and rapid edge-to-edge performance for the advanced skier are the aims.
A touch lighter than the Limited version the Fluid is great in shorter turns, possess the smooth, fluid feel [...]

Entry-model in Dynastar’s executive “Contact” range. Very good “all-mountain” skis in the sense of any piste or groomed run can be approached with the Contact.
A fraction wider waist, 71 mm, gives an easier platform for intermediate skiers to skid and also challenge themselves to tougher groomed runs, European blacks and US Double-blacks.
Very easy [...]
Hmmm, I love these skis!! Super-smooth and the side-cut just arcs buttery short to medium turns on any groomed run. Although not the most aggressive of skis the Groove is adept in the hands of an expert or advanced skier. An extra-wide tip chomps into firm snow for some snappy arcs [...]
Mid-range in Blizzard’s G-Force range the G-3 retains the IQ system of an integrated binding and ski - not to be confused with the many plate-systems around, Blizzrd where the first to actually integrate the bindings into the ski itself.
A slightly more aggressive profile gives the G-3 a sharper turn by half a metre [...]
Tamer siblings to the Sl 12, a great ski. A touch more forgiving, not that the standard 12’s aren’t forgiving for the expert. Perhaps the advanced skier looking for their first pair of slalom skis would enjoy the 11’s or, if they are very light, then the 10’s.
Sharing a similar side-cut to [...]
