Dynastar Legend 4800 (2007)

An intermediate ski in the all mountain category, and considering the popularity of the Legend series, oddly only the third model reviewed.

Manufacturer’s Description:

"For good to excellent skiers looking for a high performance ski both in the powder and on hardpack, who ski all types of terrain with the same agility."

Ski-Review’s verdict:

Wearing new clothes for the 2007 season, the first impression of the Legend 4800 is almost ‘old school’ ski because of the tips. The 4800 is light and happy on most surfaces, but really romps home when in the fall line in the powder filled mogul fields.  So light and not a stranger to the adjective "stiff"—I was skipping down with ease.  All round use is generally very forgiving.

If you are traditional skier and can’t see the point to all these ‘fat’ skis on the market, but would like to progress to a ski that enables you to enjoy skiing the whole mountain with out the effort of a wide ski on the ice and piste, the Legend 4800 will do the trick.
