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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
The D-Stinct range is true to the Dynastar heritage of refined fluidity. More than a mid-range ski this is the league of a Mercedes CLK, they are executive cruisers with a little sportiness, nicely balanced and very much at ease on groomed surfaces.
An expert skier can push the D-Stinct Carbon and see past [...]

Racer ready, well not quite racer perhaps but very sporty and feisty females are required to tame a pair of Sonic’s. No bad thing at all, if you want to ski with some fire in your loins and cease to remain a soporific skiing slacker then grab some skis with fire in their [...]
The Viva G-3 is mid-range in Blizzard’s women’s specific Viva range. The G-3 retains the IQ system of an integrated binding and ski. The Viva G-3 is a clean looking ski with a light-construction and versatile profile for the all-mountain skier.
The G-3 Viva has a sharper turn than lower models plus a [...]
Almost identical to the GS 11 but somewhat tamer flex - the profiles are mirrored throughout the size range. For the advanced skier rather than expert the GS 10 is much more forgiving, as they will also prove for lighter skiers. Check out the review for the GS 11 for further details.
The [...]
No real change here since last year, the SL 10’s remain a great slalom-style ski for the advanced skier. The sidecut is very much that of a slalom ski but the flex is toned down and the tail is less whippy than with the more thoroughbred SL 12 pb version.
Advanced skiers will find [...]
Stocky super-lightweight bruisers. 112-70-98 gives the intermediate to advanced skier a sturdy platform to execute short to medium turns in a wide variety of conditions. A forgiving construction lets you explore varied terrain without posing too much technical difficulty and the shape of the ski tips nicely into carved turns.
So versatile allrounders. [...]
