Dynafit's fattest touring ski for serious big-mountain backcountry aficionados—new for the 2012-13 season.
Tourist-trapping mega resorts and carbon-spewing chopper outfits are the bane of your existence. Thankfully Dynafit made the Huascaran Ski to lead you far from the marketed mountains to legendarily deep lines. Once you swiftly glide over a ridge, the lightweight, powerful micro-sidewalls and versatile triple-turn radius yield solid big-mountain performance in everything from notorious ski-movie terrain to tight, storm-day tree stashes. The widest Dynafit ski yet produced, the Huascaran floats the deepest Wasatch or Cascade pow.
Features:
Scoop Rocker features an early-rise tip and tail for fantastic float and smooth trail-breaking in deep powder as well as a bit of traditional camber underfoot to ensure a solid edge-hold in ice and crud-choked drainage run-outs
Paulownia ultra-light wood core features a bit of foam as well as beech and bamboo stringers to keep the weight down, to provide a snappy structure in variable snow, and to help reduce vibrations
Torsion Box construction features cap construction to keep the weight low and a small sidewall near the edge to facilitate efficient energy transfer and durability in big, exposed terrain where the snow conditions change constantly
Fiberglass and carbon laminates as well as titanal inserts yield amazing torsional rigidity and stability for the biggest, fastest lines you can handle
Weighs in at around eight tour-ready pounds (per pair, depending on size)
114mm width underfoot (186cm) keeps you on top of the deepest, lightest storm-day powder
Triple Radius technology features a separate turn radius for the tip, waist, and tail of the ski, which means you can execute long GS turns, short powder turns in the trees, and quick speed-dumping slashes with very little effort
Rocker, turn radii, and generous sidecut provide easy turning because the ski engages more of the edge as you lay into your turns
Pintail uses a pointed tail to enable easy attachment to ski-carrying backpacks and to inhibit hooking during powder turns
KLICK tip attachment and flat tail pair with the pre-cut Dynafit Huascaran Speedskin for easy and reliable gliding
