Dynastar Legend Pro Rider Alpine Ski 08/09 Model
Not Bad, Yet Not Great Either

Well...it was an interesting test day for sure. 9 inches of wet snow on top of straight up crust which yielded for some interesting results. While I felt that this ski was overpowered kind of easily in most conditions, it plowed through
the tracked up wet snow like a friggin' plow. It might not make sense, but it did. Untracked pow deeper than its tip rise however made the Legend Pro Rider sink quite quickly because of its lower tip profile. Groomers treated it well, but not
fantastic because it took a bit of a lighter touch and a balance point that is further back on the ski than normal.
Who is it for: Skiers who are adept, yet have a lighter touch.
Who is it not for: Straight up powder skiers and people who hammer on their skis.

Yo Wally! This is Dan C, raced with you for WPRC back in the day. Do you think I'd like these boards? Looking for an everyday "race style" ski that will handle well in trees and powder. Need a stiff ski that can handle power SG turns. Mostly skiing Squaw Valley these days. Thanks!
