2023 Dynastar E-Pro 99

The M-Pro line that Dynastar introduced two years ago is hierarchical, with the M-Pro 99 and E-Pro 99 sitting on top of a 3-model range. This means the E-Pro 99 isn’t just the widest ski in the range, it’s the also the best. Women who’ve attained advanced ability should probably be on the E-Pro 99 even if they’re likely to spend half their time on groomed terrain. I make this suggestion despite the fact that the E-Pro 99 baseline and build are clearly intended for off-piste terrain. It’s the Ti in the mid-section and tail that calm the E-Pro 99 down on groomers, earning the admiration of Lara Hughes Allen, who filed this dispatch: “I really liked this ski. I don't usually ski anything much over 90 underfoot, but I was really impressed with this ski on groomers and off piste. I skied it on a day where we had gotten about a foot of new snow over crud/ice and it had a lot of float through the soft snow, but also charged through the crud. Surprisingly grippy on the groomers as well.”
