The Dynastar M-Pro 100 is a decidedly old-school-looking directional freeride shape. It’s almost refreshing to see a ski that, well, looks like a plain ol’ ski. But the kicker is that, despite the looks, the M Pro 100 is one of the most nimble and energetic skis we tested this year, bounding from turn to turn both on and off-piste. It's not what you'd expect a poppy ski to look like but damn, these things like to go.
Groomers & Resort Skiing:
At first glance, it looks like Dynastar molded just another Euro-style directional ski with the M Pro 100, but take a closer look and you’ll notice long taper lines up front and quite a bit of long but subtle rocker in the tip and tail. The crucial thing that makes a serious-looking ski like this 'fun' is a tail that releases easily. And the M-Pro 100 allows the skier to transition from carved to smeared turns at will. The subtle tail rocker allows you to unweight and slide out the tails effortlessly, then re-engage them as soon as you put the ski on edge.
The ski has a stiff flex underfoot and through the tail, with a slightly softer tip flex. That translates to easy turn initiation and good power on the exit of the turn. They are a lot of fun on hardpack and a ski our testers all found themselves beaming on, despite the austere looks of the ski.
“The M-pro 100 Is a lightweight dancer. Great energy transfer from turn to turn with agility in the bumps, making snappy turns easy to accomplish. Having a decent amount of side cut helps it feel almost automatic.” - Dave Frick

Who's it for?
Dynastar’s M-Pro 100 is a great resort ski that could work on the east or west coast. It's adept on groomers, in glades and can handle some fresh snow too. It caters to skiers who prefer a more traditional, directional feel in a ski, but still want something fun. It feels like the kind of ski that strong skiers get more out of, and doesn't necessarily reward a lazy style on snow.
