Stomping Grounds:
Im all over the map...and Im not sure of my coordinates -
Bio:
I grew up playing all different types of sports but nothing grabbed me like skiing. For most my life it has been my number one priority. I go to sleep thinking about skiing and I wake up thinking about skiing. The unknown of the mountains is what I thrive on…the unpredictability and the freedom of making choices keep me out there every day year after year. Each rider sees things differently and has the choice to act upon those unique views and ideas. There is no better feeling than flying down the mountain with the wind in your face! In that moment nothing else matters….

Dynastar Legend Sultan 94 Ski
April 25, 2011
You will get more of a ski and allow you to go faster with more stability if you mount the ski back of the center line. It's a skiers choice. Sometimes I mount skis behind the center line and sometimes in front of the center line depending on what I want out of the ski.

Dynastar Legend Big Dump Ski
April 25, 2011
Chris had a great technical answer. The rocker is still mild compared to other skis on the market. It's still significant and gets the job done. The rise is only towards the tip of the ski and the rest of the ski is similar to the the legend pro but wider. It is a fun ski if you're looking to go fast!

The Pro rider is one of the best made all mountain chargers. I have not skied the line Prophet's 100's but I can speak for the pro rider. Beyond being one of the best constructed skis, you can ask anything of the Pro Rider and it will respond. The ski is forgiving enough for small tight turns and will allow you to go as fast as you ever want too on skis. Dynastar as been making quality skis for years and this is one of their masterpieces.

The Huge Trouble is softer, wider and has less camber. I find them much more playful than the legend pro. The low camber makes them more forgiving but you can still charge on this ski. It is one of Dynastar's best powder skis and can still hold up in all conditions. I ski the ski just about everyday in all conditions. From the resort to Alaska...you have to try it.
