Dynastar breathe new life and versatility into the SkiCross range for 2004/2005

Written by Dan Morgan, Friday, 19 March 2004

The Dynastar SkiCross series gets a healthy update for the 04/05 season.

The staple all mountain SkiCross range has been extended and rebuilt to provide more versatility across the board.  By combining Autodrive technology underfoot with variable profile side cuts Dynastar have managed to create a line of skis able to cater to all abilities and disciplines.

More technically proficient skiers benefit from a less extreme side cut to provide versatility while others get more exaggerated profiles to allow turns to be carved effortlessly.

The revolutionary Autodrive system comes as standard, and all SkiCross skis benefit from an Autodrive Rebound System (ARS), which enhances the carving experience by storing energy when entering the turn and expelling it when finishing.  In addition intergrated risers help the skier gain extra leverage and grip throughout the turn.
