Dynastar Big Trouble Limited Alpine Ski - 2008 BCS

I bought these skis to be be my powder skis, and man do they fufill that niche. I am an ex-college FB player (6'3" 285) Skied in 35+ inches of fresh snow at Alta this year, and they kept my big butt floating quite well. They even work well on soft slushy snow, but hardpacked and variable snow conditions are a little sketchy. Obviously not the ski for the frontside of the Mt. but when there is fresh pow, grab these boards and "float on"

First off i want to say that this ski has kind of a girly grphic, but its the ski not the graphic. they have a pretty wide underfoot on them and that usually helps in the park. They are not very thick compared to the blends. they handle very good. It is really just an all around ski and there isn't anything special to them. I do recommend them tho.

These are the best skis I've ever been on. I had a chance to demo these for 2 days and decided that I need to get my own pair. My first time down the mountain I felt like I was an instantly better skier; they were fantastic in everything from powder, to bumps, to groomers, to the park. Awesome all mtn. ski!

I've already written a review regarding this ski, and I absolutely love it. I had the chance to try out some 4frnt MSPs, and I wanted to compare them for you all. Both skis kill it all over the mountain so its super hard in most cases to pick a ski in this category. The MSP was fun no doubt, but what it lacked, was that huge Shovel that the BT has making it easier to power through the crud. The big Trouble also has a stiffer flex so at higher speeds, its a more comfortable/easier to handle ski. Both skis are legit, but for someone who wants some re-assurance through crud, and like more stability at higher speeds, go with the BT.

This is a great ski for the price. I have these as a set of AT/Rando skis w/marker dukes. I'm 5'10 170 lbs. and have the 186. Here's the breakdown: They are stiff, and I love that. They are heavy (need legs), and I like that too. If you are a groom skier these are not the skis for you. If you like the bumps, these are not for you. But if you like new tracks (4-40+ inches) then these are a great bargain. They ride fast (stiff) and they have a good cut.

These are a great "All Condition" ski. First thing I noticed is these babies are a heavier ski but because of that they powered through anything...and yes, moguls, crud, and ice were among the powder, corduroy, and trees. These skis do NOT like to go straight...they LOVE to turn. They're a strong ski with a lot of pop and I'd highly suggest them to anyone who wants a ski that will play in the park as well as hit some groomer runs and jumps in the powder and trees.

The Dynastar Big Troubles definitely handle any trouble that comes their way. From charging groomers to floating in the powder, these made short work of anything I could put them through. They do feel a bit heavier than some skis of similar size, but their stability and the ability to power through anything definitely make up for it. If you are looking for an oversize ski for the deep days out west, the Big Troubles would definitely fit the bill.
