Dynastar Skis

A key technology in Dynastar skis is Autodrive. It is a construction method that combines the advantages of cap construction with traditional vertical sidewalls in one ski. The cap construction near the tip allows easy turn entry while the sidewalls further back provide superior grip and power for the rest of the turn.

The actual placement of cap vs. sidewall is varied from model to model to tune performance. High performance skis have more sidewall and less cap, and vice-versa. Autodrive Fluid is an extension of Autodrive using the integrated binding with additional elements fore and aft to enhance the effect.

WOMEN’S SKIS ... Exclusive collection

Women’s models in the Exclusive the line are different in a number of ways besides being slightly softer and lighter than their unisex counterparts.

Also, heels are raised slightly which Dynastar says improves stance and balance for female skiers.
