 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just wanted to have a bit of a rave about some new (but old skis) which I have just bought for ski touring. I got a real bargain on a pair of Dynastar Little Big Fats, brand new, but the model itself is from 2004. What an excellent pair of skis. Because we went from a mild morning to a snowy afternoon today, I got to try them out on all conditions - slush, ice, crud, and finally powder and they seem to work brilliantly in all conditions.
I hadn't really heard of them before. Anyone else tried these? 4 years isn't a long time but they even look a bit old school!

i was thinking about them to use as touring skis but they never turned up on ebay
they are basically the old Dynastar Big/Inspired but in shorter sizes. i think i am right in saying that the construction of that ski hasn't changed a whole lot from the intuitiv range right through to the legend 8800 (or even the mythic rider) and it still gets good reviews.
as a lover of Dynastar freeride skis, I'm glad they've turned out well for you

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

Arno,
Do you think that the Intuitiv is the same sort of ski as the 8800/Mythic Rider..?
I used to rate the Intuitiv but only used the 8000 a few seasons ago. Not too bad..but nothing that made me want to go after it again..
But I have been interested in the Mythic Rider... just haven't got round to it or found it..more like..

Snowmonkey, I have a pair of Bigs - they don't look old school at all ! I used to like them alpine, but they're much much more fun mounted tele .....

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

JT, i believe so - the old Intuitiv 74, the Little Big Fat and the corresponding generation Big/Inspired all have the same sandwich underfoot/cap at the tip and tail construction which was carried through to the 8800
never spent too much time examining the 8000!
the old Bigs/Arnos (80-85mm underfoot/mini swallow tail) that I used to have were full sandwich construction and (judging from the fact that they had Racing Atelier stamped on the sidewall) were produced in the raceroom - I guess they developed into the Pro Rider, although the ski got considerably wider along the way!
i bet SZK knows far more about this than I do - maybe he'll jump in and set me straight
