This is my wife Grace's review. She is involved in our annual test of the upcoming season's equipment and tests the Women specific models. Grace is 5'3", 105lbs. 
Model: Dynastar Exclusive Legend
Size(cm) / Radius(m): 152/?, 158/?, 172/?, 178/?
Sidecut : 114-75-102
Length tested: 158cm Manufacturer's Description: "The Exclusive Legend is the ultimate all-mountain freeride ski for advanced to expert women searching for adventure in any kind of snow condition. Titanium laminated multicell core provides a smooth ride, stability at speed and great edge grip." Ski-Review's Verdict: The past three years have made me a devoted believer in Dynastar’s theories on REAL skis for women that want more than a easy ski with “girly” graphics. Even with my 105lbs, this ski was a pleasure. Once again, some of the ski publications have their heads in a darker place with their insulting and condescending remarks toward women and our skiing wants and needs. This ski is the “real deal.” With its slightly wider (75mm) waist, the Legend allows the skier stability without diminishing the skis competence in all turn shapes. Smooth? Yes! Forgiving? A little, but this one is for women that get on the steeps and ski everything. Conclusion? Dynastar has raised the bar when it comes to Women's gear. Maybe if they gave more free skis to more magazine testers, (most of whom get free skis and boots from the manufacturers) their products would receive more consideration. If you're interested in some of the criteria that should be considered when bringing a Women's ski to market, go to "Hey Ladies! Check this out!" in the news section on this web site.

I have just spent a week in Val d'Isere, France skiing on these skis (rented). I have never felt so confient on all terrains - we had ice, rock, powder, wet snow etc and all slopes. I am not an aggressive skier but they responded well all week.

Tried the K2's (Phat Luv, Burning Luv, One Luv) in Colorado and in Utah, and set them all aside for the Dynastar's Exclusive Legend. Handled in the powder, the packed powder and the crud. I LOVE THESE SKIs! | Love at first sight

This ski is great for a girls carving ski. It is light, nimble, and great to carve with. The crud can be skied through with this ski.
