2026 Dynastar M Free 112 Skis
An ski for 2026, the Dynastar M-Free 112 fit in better with its other M-Free family in terms of build, shape, and style compared to the outgoing M-Free 116. With the incorporation of Hybrid 2.0 Core, there is a noticeable boost in energy and performance. This directional freeride ski is supremely smooth and energetic while also being sturdy in damp in soft snow as well as the random groomer you may encounter.
Why we like it:
One of the more well-rounded skis in the ~ 110 mm waisted freeride category which makes it one of the better resort powder freeride skis out there. Generous tip and tail rocker coupled with a good deal of camber underfoot and a sturdy flex pattern make it floaty and slashy in soft snow but also a formidable opponent to groomers.
Who it's for:
Well accomplished advanced to expert skiers will get the most out of this sturdy, sort of heavy, and straighter sidecut ski.
Highlights:
Dynastar’s Hybrid 2.0 Core utilizes less adhesives to minimize weight while retaining a strong flex pattern. The core is also constructed more sustainably than before making it less impactful on our environment. Polyurethane is joined with the central Hybrid 2.0 Core on its sides without heavy adhesives to save weight and provide excellent vibration dampening and smoothness.
Things to consider:
Advancing intermediates would likely have a tough time grappling with the heavier weight and longer turning radius. Fairly heavy for a freeride ski (2200 g/183 cm and 2300 g/189 cm), physically strong skiers will have a better time on these skis. But don’t let the weight scare you, they don’t feel that heavy underfoot and are insanely playful while still being very confidence inspiring.
Fit & sizing considerations:
Skis true to size. If you are between sizes, go shorter if you value playfulness and maneuverability and go longer if you value stability and power more.
