 Poster: A snowHead
|
Need to replace my Dynastar 8000s (2009 version) and am looking for a similar all mountain ski with bias to off piste.
Anyone with experience of the 8000 able to suggest a replacement which is as good (or better)?
Ta v much in advance.

I used to have the 8800 ages ago and changed them for something a bit wider underfoot - 104mm.
You could try the Mantra's though.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Ta both - I've skied on Mantras and didn't much like them, though couldn't really say why, will have a look at some Chams I think.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Do have a crack at those Blizzards if you get the chance.

jbob, yep, like I said, I've skied on Mantras and didn't like them. To be honest, for an all mountain ski I'd be quite happy to just buy another pair of 8000s (mine are now beyond saving) but I haven't been able to find any (albeit after a not massive search).

northernsoulboy, I went from the 8000 to a Sultan 85 a few years back. Not as good in moguls but much better at carving and quite a bit more float due to the wider tip. From there to a Dynastar Big Trouble which was the best all rounder of the three. Maybe the Sixth Sense Slicer could be worth a look?
Nordica also have a similar feel on snow to Dynastar, so whichever waist width of the Nordica and Blizzard (usually a little stiffer than the equivalent Nordica) line could work.
