Dynastar touring ski 2016/17
Much has remained the same, the names have been slightly adapted, the technology has been further developed, but the highlight is the new "Vertical Mythic". If last winter it was the Mythic that made a name for itself as a new backcounty freetouring ski, this winter it is the Vertical Mythic, which with its ultra-light weight of only 2 kg combines the racing characteristics of a sport touring ski with the deep snow capability of a freetourer. The range has thus expanded, so today there is something for everyone, for the racer, for the backcountry enthusiast or for the classic ski tourer.

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.
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.
Binding Reinforcement
The skis are reinforced at the level of the mounting zone for the bindings to comply with the standard ISO 8364. They are therefore compatible with any binding: alpine, touring, with insert, telemark - provided that standardized screws are used.
100% Fiber
A wood core combined with fiberglass laminate construction optimize snow feel, balance, precision, power and stability without the added weight of metal laminates.
Powder Profile
Powder profile is a special geometry for skis for freeride skiing. It consists of a 5-point waist, which at the same time provides very good edge grip and high maneuverability on compact snow and in powder. The long rocker on the shovel provides very good carrying capacity and the slight rocker on the tail makes the ski playful, whatever the terrain.
Carbon Ply
After several years of research, Dynastar has developed a new generation of carbon fiber, which is incorporated into their skis. The carbon is flattened and braided diagonally. This structure significantly reduces the weak points of carbon in terms of elasticity and resistance, while significantly reducing weight. This new fiber expands the carbon solutions in Dynastar's range.
Alti Skin Clip
The Alti ski skin has a special holder on the tip of the ski, perfectly integrated into the design of the ski, which helps to center the skin more easily. Backed by POMOCA production quality, the Alti ski skin is an uncompromising ski skin for use in all conditions.
