[The test results and review for the Cham 2.0 W 107 are from 2016; its only changes for 2017 are cosmetic.]

Any women’s ski with a 107cm waist is a lot of timber underneath a not-so-heavy load. When the women’s ski is a virtual clone of the men’s model, as is the case with the Cham W 2.0 107, it’s essential the chassis it’s copying isn’t built like a locomotive. Dynastar realized a year ago that its widest Chams didn’t need Titanal laminates to hold their own in the daily battle against choppy, 3D snow, so they put down the pioneer Cham 107 and coronated their High Mountain version as the king of the category. All that was left was to apply a “W” to the shorter lengths, and voilà, instant Cham 2.0 W 107.   The new baseline and forebody shape represent, in the words of Galena Gleason, who has tested every Cham in Christendom since the dawn of Cham 1.0, “great improvements.”
