The Dynastar Thread
robn, my bad for taking so long to respond to your question - just saw the PM you sent…
With this being the Dynastar thread I will try and not cunt up the thread (too much)…. Like you I was turned on to ON3P by Powtron and have the OG 191 Wrens and have a ton of their skis as I just jive with them…. I grew up ski racing and pretty much rocked Dynastars and loved the old School XXLs and LPs…. Absolutely hated the Cham series so began looking elsewhere…
Fast forward to now…. I own Wrens and 116 Kartels and was looking for a tweener (Woods)…. Bought the OG Woods 108s and did not like the flex, mount point and what I read on here…. I have a shit ton of respect for several on this board and there are 2 skis I would never have bought but because of the hype here I bought…. One was the Bibby Pro and hated so sold immediately…. Since I was looking for a tweener ski that fell between the Wren and Kartel I bought the MFree 108 at the end of the year as it sounded like it was exactly what I was looking for…. Like I said above the camber, rocker profile, flex and weight just is Fing spot on…
I had no clue the Woods was going to be redesigned and after talking to Iggy I could not resist the purchase…. New core, flex, and mount point and I had to go for it…. I know I will love it, but just did not feel like getting rid of the MFree - this ski just feels money and know it will be the first Dynastar I will like since 10+ years…
I don’t think you can go wrong with either and knowing you can get the Dynastar for probably $300+ less makes it the easier decision…
Not being on either of them yet so this is speculation but I do believe the MFree will be more damp due to weight and metal, but do believe the Woods will absolutely float better and probably a bit more locked in when on edge…. Although the MFree has a fuck ton of camber so def could be wrong…

Interested to hear your comparison once you get enough time on both.
For the Mfree, I was surprised at how well it floated, punched above it’s waist dimension. Carve, yeah, they lay trenches. Just another aspect of them that makes them so fun and made me want to grab them every day. But I have other killer skis to ski so…

Wading into the dstar thread here... So in my quest for a new long distance/couloir BC ski, I've come across the MTour 99. I'm looking to ditch my zero g 85s which are superlight but I find too hooky and foldy if not perfect corn or just ice. The MTour 99 addes some weight but still damn light for long distances, obviously wider with more rocker and taper helps not catch/hook in variable, also like the longer sidecut and shape to be able to determine your turn shape vs being yanked into something tight. Any experience or thoughts on this? It's new so not much info, but seems pretty unique in a good way (real light but more modern shape).
Also, on length... I'm 6'1 180 and ski 190ish but my zero g's are 178cm (longest they come in). I'm also thinking going short (178) on the MTours if they're gonna be a long distance steep and tight couloir ski. I'll have a longer-wider meadow skipping BC ski for winter. Any flawed logic there?
Thx all

Yeah, the LD90 is now my holy grail ski but of course its about that hard to find as well now! I've tried getting in touch with Down but they must be fully shut down, sadly

Don’t we also have matching boots too? God damnit. Please don’t tell me you also bought a black smith helmet.
You jelly?
I think we are inflating this to an unprecedented level.

I suggest we have an mfree108 day at Schweitzer this season. We could literally have an entire lift line of mfree108s lapping the Colburn Lake Ski Area.

When I daydream about skiing in summer, the skis on my feet are mfree 108s.

Never skied the mfree but it has to be. The Rx sucks so much ass.
