M-Free 112
Dynastar
$950.00
The all-new M-Free 112 takes the helm as the widest ski in Dynastar’s four-model, progressive freeride M-Free line. Although its dimensions allow it to operate as a dedicated deep-snow ski, its agility and maneuverability make it so much more than a one-trick powder pony. The M-Free 112’s playful profile sports moderate camber underfoot and generous tip and tail rocker with minimal taper. This allows the rocker to provide float in the pow while maintaining substantial edge contact when it’s fully engaged on firm snow. While not its primary domain, corduroy performance is respectable as you reach the mountain’s snowier locales. Once there, gear up for a hella fun time as you blast, slash and ollie your way through the powdery promised land.
Although not overwhelmingly rigid, the M-Free 112 leans toward the stiffer end of the spectrum as far as pow skis go, which, along with a slightly hefty weight (2,300 grams at 189 cm ), provides ample stability when you give ‘er the gas. The eco-conscious Hybrid 2.0 core, comprised of a poplar and polyurethane blend, is wrapped in fiberglass and features a partial sheet of metal under the binding. This combination results in a ride that feels firm and stable underfoot yet retains playfulness in the tips and tails.
If you’re lucky enough to regularly ski a resort that serves up 400-plus inches of snow per season, this could become your daily driver. Otherwise, it might make sense to use it more as a “deep day” ski and look into the slightly narrower M-Free 108. Overall, the M-Free 112 impresses with its blend of power and playfulness. Its stability really shines when ripping varied terrain, particularly in high-speed, demanding conditions, making it an excellent choice for shredders looking to push their limits.
