New sidecut with more taper angle add to the versatility of an already GREAT ski. While the 2007 Carve does not jet you out of the turn like its predecessor, the new Dynastar Exclusive Carve is more “user friendly” when it comes to picking turn shapes at any radius.

Manufacturer's Description of the Dynastar Exclusive Carve:

"For technical, expert women skiers looking for responsive carving performance and superior edge grip to make perfect turns on groomed trails."

Ski-Review's Verdict:

Comments from my wife and our Ladies test team:

An expert ski for women with strong skills, but also a great choice for those looking for rapid improvement. FUN, and very re-assuring.
The advantage gained by the ramped lifter is felt immediately, and the more balanced stance is a huge benefit. They help make you a better skier.
More like the Dynastar Exclusive 11 XT but easier and less demanding, and the slightly softer flex generates an easy rhythm in shorter radius turns.
Hands down, the BEST Women's ski (for groomed and hard packed/icey conditions) The Carve exhibits the best blend of quickness and stability in any Women's ski tested. I'm light and I'm not an Expert skier, so for me, this is my new ski. I should probably be on the 153 but the 158 is still easy and lets me ride the edges with confidence even at higher speeds. By the way, there are a lot of expert Women who join me on the new Exclusive Carve this year. If its good enough for Jeannie Thoren, its more than enough ski for me. They make me want to ski more often.

Exclusive Carve

These skis are a womens specific carving ski. Light and agile, suitable for any girl. The specifications on this ski has been tuned to fit a girl. They have sandwich construction underfoot for stiffness and cap construction at the tip and tails.

Dynastar exclusive carve gear review by Brian

More than one Brian, but we do agree.

For those that have been asking...the reader's note above this review is from a guest reviewer also named Brian, and his comments are valid and accurate.

The 07 Carve has become something of a cult ski with almost every woman who spends time "demoing" choosing the Carve for her new ski. The last paragraph of the original review, starting with the words "Hands down" is my wife Grace's review and she loves the Exclusive Carve more and more, as she spends more time on them. We value her reviews of Women's gear and although she is not an expert, she skis like a lot of ladies who love to carve and ski at higher speeds, so they want a real ski. Too many companies make an entry level ski look pretty and ignore Women who seek performance and want to use some skills.

And now for the good news...We have tested NEXT year's skis and Dynastar is keeping the Carve, and not making changes for the sake of change. Grace loves hers. Get on a pair and we're pretty sure that you will too.

I have just spent a week on these skis and truly loved them. I am an advanced skier.

I had always rated my Volkl as fab but have to say I have now put them up for sale as am taken with these skis.

One afternoon I really challenged myself and them and hit ice once and then again very quickly afterwards at quite a speed and amazingly these beauties did exactly what I never expected them to do and wow I managed not to fall when I was seriously inches from doing so!

They really are fantastic skis! Please give them a go!

Dynastar - I have never used your skis before and would definitely again! You make beautiful skis!
