Dynastar Legend 8000 (2008)

Demo'd them this week. Great carver, busts the crud like a bulldozer, but absolutely STINKS in the deep stuff.  
 
They sank like the Edmond Fitzgerald and no matter how far you lean back on them, they just won't float. The also develop the turning radius of the Queen Mary in over 6" of snow.  
 
I took two runs through the trees at Park City in 12" of fresh snow, and I skied them right back to the demo hut and left with a pair of Fischer Watea 84's to ski happily ever after.

I have the 2006 model, love them. 
 
They love to go fast and carve beautifully. You can go from edge to edge quickly, and really get over on the edges. 
 
Very stable!

I demo'd 4 different skis in the Alps last month. "Hands Down" the 2008 Legend 8000 were the best all-around ski. I came home and immediately bought a pair. I've taken them everywhere on and off piste; powder (wonderful), pack and ice...no problems. If you're better than average, you'll really appreciate the ride.

I recently purchased the Dynastar Legend 8000 and skied them in New York (Holiday Valley) and Colorado (Winter Park). The conditions ranged from 6'' of fresh powder to hard pack, including icy patches, wet snow, groomed and deep packed powder. I skied a variety of terrain including groomed steeps, moguls, trees , bowls and even hit some jumps in the park. The Legend 8000s performed masterly. A fast charging, super stable ski for the groomed slope, which allows you to easily carve up the mountain. In the fresh powder they have great floatation and allowed you to relax. Generally, they have a large turning radius, which allows you to charge down the mountain in any conditions. Small turns are still possible with a little more input. The handle great in all conditions and are very capable in the park with their 79 mm waist for easy landings, slightly curved tails for easy take offs and its freeride/backountry patrilineage allows it to absorb much of the shock out of hard landings. I strongly recommend this ski to almost anyone, but if you previously skied anything below a 74mm waist you will defently need 4 - 5 full ski days to get used to this much bigger ski. But the transition was painless. Hint: The faster you go the easier it is to transition.

I demo'd this ski in Chamonix along with a range of others. Its was the pick of the bunch for the right conditions i.e. groomed / in-bounds. Very stable a quick edge to edge. If you want to charge hard there are other skis available that will hold a better edge, but if your not pushing it too the limit its a good ski for most. Off piste it plain sucks. For those that think otherwise its time to test some new skis!

I've had a pair for a couple of years now. I bought them because I wanted an all round ski - off piste, on piste, parks - that has more strength than a twin tip. And they are great. They don't handle anything in particular extremely well, but they handle everything very well. I will buy a different pair for high speed carving, but no ski that can handle powder will handle that.  
 
I mostly ski free-ride - powder, bumps, drops, jumps - and these skis handle all those conditions very well. 
 
If I had any qualms I'd say they could do with a bit more side cut.
