Dynastar Free Touring
Dynastar offers no less than three different ski concepts for ski tourers and backcountry enthusiasts this winter. These include two "Cham Alti" models, three "Cham High Mountain" models and two "Pierra Menta" models. The Cham Alti models are about classic ski touring, the wider Cham High Mountain, which are really nothing more than lighter Cham Freeride models, are about backcountry deep snow riding, and the ultra-light Pierra Menta models are about racing.

Technologies used
Light
Dynastar touring skis are built very light. All the brand's expertise in lightweight construction is combined in these models, without any shortcomings in performance.
Paulownia wood core
Paulownia wood core reduces the weight of the ski by about 25%. Dynastar combines this wood with fiberglass developed by the racing department to ensure optimum ride and control.
CAP construction
The CAP construction consists of a fiberglass core, which makes the ski, lighter, more agile and more tolerant.
Sandwich
The ski is made in sandwich construction and has straight sidewalls for maximum precision and performance.
100% Carbon Fiber
Carbon fiber is ultra-light and torsionally stiff. Carbon fiber is suitable for a ski that should be very light, but provide the best grip properties and optimal control. That is why it is used in racing ski mountaineering.
Wood/Titanal
Dynastar understands this term to mean a ski construction in which the wood core is given an additional titanal layer at the top and bottom in the classic sandwich construction. This makes the ski more torsionally stiff and stable in the turns. The power comes from two fiberglass layers that vary in weight depending on the model. Double melamine / phenolic sidewalls provide the necessary deformation and strength.
Levitation Profile
This is a combination of a 5-point waist, a very long shovel rocker, classic preload under the binding and a pintail ski tail. Optimal for freeriding.
Tip Rocker
The ski has only a moderate rocker on the shovel. The lift is moderate so that the ski maintains contact with the snow over the entire edge length. The ski turns more easily on the flat and is more tolerant in the turns.
Alti Skin
Alti Skin has a special holder on the shovel, perfectly integrated into the design, which helps to center the skin more easily. Backed by POMOCA's production quality, Alti Skin is a climbing skin for use in all conditions.
Skin
Dynastar produces with POMOCA ski skins that are precisely adapted to each ski shape. They are powerful, resistant and user-friendly.
