Dynastar Speed Course 67 (2006)

Dynastar claims the new Course is " The absolute weapon for all
skiers looking for performance and perfection when carving fast, wide
turns on hardpack"

In this tester’s opinion, Dynastar is right on target. I’ve skied this in two lengths and love them both, (172 and 178) while respecting their differences.

Ski-Review’s verdict:

Every year there is one ski that stands above the rest. The new Course 67 is some of the most fun on any ski EVER. The Autodrive Flex plate from Dynastar’s World Cup skis, delivers excellent power transmission and feedback, making the Course 67 seem to ask for more from the skier.

The 17 meter radius (at 178cm) while not legal for FIS candidates, is perfect for All Mountain cruising at blistering speeds but doesn’t restrict the skis ability to make some pretty nice shorter arcs.

This ski was also the first chance I had to ski Look/Rossi’s new PX replacement for the venerable Turntable. Still the most elastic travel of any heel, and the heel is held down more than pushed forward. Gone is the "rotates under the axis of the tibia" feature, but the heel still allows the the boot toe toe exit the same way and they feel fine. More boot heels will enter the new heel design without friction, now that the boot does not have to "fit" between the arms of the old heel.

If there is a better ski out there, this tester has not found it. But before you jump on them, consider that mistakes will not be tolerated and good technique is a prerequisite.

A best pick for sure - *****
