Dynastar D-Stinct Carbon Skis 2008/09

Dynastar D-Stinct Carbon Skis 2008/09

The D-Stinct range is true to the Dynastar heritage of refined fluidity. More than a mid-range ski this is the league of a Mercedes CLK, they are executive cruisers with a little sportiness, nicely balanced and very much at ease on groomed surfaces.

An expert skier can push the D-Stinct Carbon and see past the skis thresholds, yet this is not a ski for the skier to push boundaries, it is a ski for the red-run intermediate to expert skier to relax upon and revel in a refined ride.

In the mid-lengths, 165 and 172, you are rewarded with silken medium radius turns, the shorter lengths are very much aimed at shorter radii. I'd head for no shorter than 165 for a more generous all-round feel and smoother ride.
