Dynastar kept almost the exact same construction as the previous version. I guess they went with the "ain't broke, don't fix it" theory, but innovation is the name of the game in skiing. They are burly, stiff, fast and stable. Good for charging the whole mountain. Would have liked to see them push the envelope and add a rocker profile or slight twin tip. Maybe even change up the tired old graphic theme. C'mon, keep up Dynastar!

Nice skis. Essentially a very wide race ski with minimal sidecut. I mounted them as teles and they are definitely stiff for teles, but I like them because as long as you are pressuring the sweet spot, you are riding hard charging carves in almost any snow. Granted, I don't like them on hardpack (they do well hardpack but are a ton of work and not as much fun), but any remotely soft snow, crud, or pow yields an incredible ride.I think they are a classic expert ski. They will do nothing if you are in the back seat, even for a moment, but will do almost everything if you on top of them.Also, wood and metal skis with straight sidewalls like the LPR stand up a lot better to hitting rocks than cap skis, especially cap skis with foam.

If these Pro riders are anything like the PRO XXL's I'm on, you won't be dissappointed. I'm on the 184 size and they rip.. Straight line they offer pure control, and no waggle. The ride is butter smooth on the groomed and downright bliss in the Powder. Not a mogul ski, but can blast thru the fluff fields without a problem. On the straight lines you'll love the character this ski brings you. It gives you confidence to take the big lines without hesitation.

I have skied several of these Legend Pros over the years and really enjoy them. Stiff construction keeps them stable at high speeds. Able to plow through crud no problem. Large turning radius makes you want to go fast and rip big lines.For heaps of snow, (on days where its deeper than say, 18inches) I would suggest the XXL version for its added float factor
