Dynafit Manaslu

Skiing > Alpine TouringRated: ***** by 1 review.

Marmot Mountain

This new Randonn¦e/Freeride ski from Dynafit will be a top performer this year for the skier who needs an all mountaintouring ski with a Dynafit binding. It has a 23cm long rockered shovel, which provides great soft snow performance, and a dual radius cut (35/21cm.) that really shined so well in variable backcountry conditions, that it got a 2008 Backcountry Editor's Choice award.

The Dynafit Manaslu ski, with its revolutionary ski geometry, 23-cm long shovel, and tight dual-radius cut (35/21 cm), is ideal for high-altitude ski descents with highly varied snow conditions. Its light-weight wood-core construction and the use of high-performance laminates create an ideal balance between weight, performance and flexibility - all with a 95-mm wide ski-base under the binding.

Progression

Rating:*****

This ski is the progression of the Dynafit system. You love their bindings and now you can love their skis. The inserts are confidence inspiring, and keep the weight low by minimizing the binding platform.

The tip makes the ski feel even wider than its 95 mm, which has been a favorite width of mine for years. Great for deep powder, good for the steeps, pretty versatile ski. Easy skiing, very playful.

The tip also helps when breaking trail, it floats the already light ski to the surface, making gaining vertical easier. way easier.

There is a reason this is the Backcountry editors choice.

Buy and enjoy.
