A new ski in the Dynastar MFree line, the MFree 112 replaces the discontinued MFree 118 as the widest ski in the lineup. It has a very similar profile to its stablemate the Rossignol Sender Free 110 but without the metal laminate, so they don’t have that metal ski feel. If you’re looking for an MFree to ski more as a powder ski than a resort driver, these are the ones for you.
Groomers & Resort Skiing:
The MFree 112 is a big ski for skiing groomers but considering the width, it does a pretty good job. It’s not an engaging ride but they hold an edge well meaning they are pretty solid overall, so they are more than capable as a resort ski. You could probably just about get away with skiing them daily somewhere like Alta but for most people, these aren’t going to be your daily driver. That said, they are a good choice for days when your priority is skiing some pow, but you still want a ski that will comfortably get you back to the lift. They certainly aren’t in that bracket of powder skis where you are just doing your best to get down the slope to upload again. They ski smoothly on hard snow, they just aren’t a ski you’d ultimately choose for that application.
Powder & Mixed Conditions:
The float of the MFree 112 is pretty much identical to the Sender Free 110, because the ski shape is nearly identical. They offer more float than the MFree 108, and that’s where these skis really outperform the smaller sibling, which is a generally more versatile ski. Compared with the Sender 110, the MFree 112s have a bit more mass in the tip/tail but are slightly less strong underfoot. In mixed conditions, the tip deflects slightly less but the overall center of the ski might be a little less supportive. It’s splitting hairs though and both skis are fantastic versatile powder ski options that handle fall-line skiing and mixed snow with aplomb. Neither is as pivot-y as something with more taper, but both are still fairly approachable skis.

Park & Jibbing:
The MFree 112 has a pretty jibable shape, with plenty of tail rocker. You have more than enough tail there to land switch, especially if you bump the mounting point of the ski forward as we did. The ski is pretty heavy though (it felt a bit heavier to us than the Sender 110 but we didn’t have scales at the test), and we’d probably choose that ski or the MFree 108 over the MFree for backcountry jumps or spinning more than 360. These feel more like a charge-y comp-style ski for going fast than a particularly jib-friendly option.

Who's it for?
The MFree 112 was a ski we loved for how predictable it felt in all conditions, a ski that can handle whatever you throw at it. These feel pretty well suited to freeride comps and skiers who like to charge but still ski lots of deep snow. They made our Best of Test list based on how hard they can charge but without being hard work to ski.
