so ----- i spent the majority of my last season on the XXL then I moved to the Huge for some cat-skiing at Baldface in interior BC-- ie-- pow skiin'... it was incredible. As in- wow dynastar made a powder ski. I would disagree with the comment that they aren't so good anywhere else (other than the powder) -- I was just on them the entire time i was in Chamonix-- snow was great however there were many-a-day where the conditions weren't optimal- I was comfortable in the Huge's the whole time-- plus I shred them around in-bounds Alta all the time in the crud on the backside or over rockier steeper stuff that calls for technical skiing as well--?? I think they're great? It's the ONLY ski that I took to Europe this season? BUT THEY DO kill in in the backcountry-- they're sweet. I found them to be more rigid than I thought they were going to be! (cool)-- I thought they were going to be really soft-- they aren't what you think if you've never flexed them--- give them a shot... they're more versatile than you think.

The Huge Trouble is one of my favorite skis Dynastar has made in years. It is a great ski for just about anything. I have skied this ski all over resorts, the backcountry and the big mountains of Alaska. It is an amazing powder ski but will hold up to the hard pack and crud. The little camber allows the ski to be playful, and easy to ski in most situations. The construction is built tough and the ski will hold up to most challenges.

Dynastar nailed it with this ski. Mount em right on the normal line for all/big mth riding. Awesome swing weight for spinning, ect... they feel very balanced under foot. I recommend the p15 on these skis unless you actually set your din to 15 or above. This binding feels great on the ski, and you save some weight over the p18. The construction is bomber- typical Dynastar. Well built and with an amazing feel underfoot, I have no reservations saying this ski is Dynastar's hottest ski this season.

I demoed this ski at at Alyeska AK the other day. It is such a sick ski. The only other big ski experience I have is a pair of last years 189 Seths with dukes, and though they bust crud and anything else like a steamroller they just seem huge and clumsy lengthwise a lot of the time. When the demo guy handed me the 185 Huge Troubles, I was worried the same thing would be true. Instead, the skis felt light, nimble, and fun. The width is too much if all you do is ski groomers (the ski doesn't lie flat if you aren't bowlegged), but it handles them satisfactorily. They float great over any soft snow, and if you like air, these skis will help you stop anything. I took an air I thought was like 10-15 feet and it turned out like 30, but these skis are stable enough to pull out anything. A heads up I'm 5'10", 135 pounds.

Amazing ski, did well everywhere I took it, powder, crud, packed snow. Absolutely loved it.

This ski is AWESOME!! I have a Marker Duke binding mounted on them. Dropping cliffs and stomping tricks in park or off piste is no prob. This ski feels very surfy in the pow and very racer on hard pack. I do suggest a lighter binding if your all about doing tricks, try the Marker Jester.

The caption is spot on! I Took these up today for opening day at the bird (Nov 7th not a bog deal) They were super playful for their size and flex, but you have to point it their right there underneath you runnin. Best ski in the Dynaster Big mountain line up. I have px18 on them so they are a little heavy, but certainly bombproof! Ski fast, take chances, and let the snow keep falling this seasons.
