Dynafit Manaslu Ski

Your ski-mountaineering buddy has an ultralight setup too, but he’s not enjoying the ride down like you and your Dynafit Manaslu Skis are. The Manaslus have unique dimensions and a crazy-light weight so you can breeze the uphill, make tight, quick turns down steeps, and ride smoothly across the mank.

  • Wide waist and dual-radius sidecut (122/95/108) for tight turns in the steep and float in the deep
  • Slightly rockered tip absorbs shock and rides above crud and wind-crust
  • Ultralight paulownia wood core keeps pair at a ridiculously light 6lb 3oz (178cm) for peak bagging
  • Fiberglass and biaxial carbon reinforcement in upper and lower layers for torsional stiffness
  • Sintered graphite coatings for gliding and wax absorption
  • Inserts make mounting Dyanfit bindings easy
  • Won Backcountry 09 Editor’s Choice

Bottom Line: Ski the Manaslu.

Hey OldDude. The inserts are designed specifically for Dynafit Bindings, BUT, you can mount any binding to the Manaslu by drilling holes away from the inserts. The Manaslus have a Titanal Plate in the binding area, which can be tricky when drilling holes (the plate is thicker than a regular Titanal topsheet. There's a good article at WildSnow about this very issue: "Drilling your own holes and mounting bindings in the Titanal plate area is ok so long as this is done by an expert mechanic who uses the correct bit for a metal top skin, taps the holes, mounts with epoxy and doesn’t over tighten the screws. Last winter, many Manaslu skis were tested with bindings such as Duke and Fritschi, mounted without using the nylon inserts." http://www.wildsnow.com/1457/dynafit-manaslu-binding-holes-mounting/

Progression

This ski is the progression of the Dynafit system. You love their bindings and now you can love their skis. The inserts are confidence inspiring, and keep the weight low by minimizing the binding platform.

The tip makes the ski feel even wider than its 95 mm, which has been a favorite width of mine for years. Great for deep powder, good for the steeps, pretty versatile ski. Easy skiing, very playful.

The tip also helps when breaking trail, it floats the already light ski to the surface, making gaining vertical easier. way easier.

There is a reason this is the Backcountry editors choice.

Buy and enjoy.

the patterns are pre drilled for dynafits and do NOT fit other bindings. Besides, why would you want to use any other binding?

Write your question here...

I'm wondering if the smallest size that the Manaslu makes is too much ski for me...I'm a female 5'6 136lbs and currently ski a k2 Phat Lov in a 160--dimensions are 122-90-112. Thanks!

The Manaslu has a slight bit of rocker on the tip which makes them ski shorter than the full stated length. You many also want to consider your boot sole length if you are planning on using the Dynafit inserts. According to the sticker that comes with the skis, the 169cm can accommodate a BSL ranging from 274mm to 323mm. The 178cm and 187cm can adjust for 294mm to 343mm. This adjustment range is assuming the use of Vertical FT or ST bindings.
