As the widest offering in the M-Pro W series, the 98 W is a playful and powerful all mountain ski that delivers a huge amount of performance with a less demanding feel. Dynastar employs the use of wood and metal to create a ski with impressive stability and grip on firm snow, but this ski really shines when you take it into soft snow, where the shape and profile work together to provide a nimble and balanced feel.

Why we like it:

This ski has a huge sweet spot, appealing to a wide range of skier types and abilities.

Who it's for:

Advancing intermediates looking for a ski they can progress on will love how accessible the performance band of the 98 W is, while advanced and expert skiers will find that there’s no lack of performance here.

Highlights:

The M-Pro 98 W from Dynastar utilizes their innovative and eco-friendly Hybrid 2.0 wood core. This design integrates multi-directional layers of Poplar wood, which are fused together without the use of adhesives resulting in a ski that's exceptionally responsive and nimble across a variety of terrain and conditions. An H-shaped titanal layer underfoot extends to the ski's mid-body, giving the M-Pro 98 W reliable edge grip on hard-packed snow, but it’s the progressive shape and rocker profile in the tip and tail that create a nice short-turning ski, allowing for ultimate versatility and playfulness in deep snow.

Things to consider:

The M-Pro 98 is a soft-snow oriented ski, so if you’re looking for something with exceptional hardpack performance, there are better options. At 98mm underfoot, this is on the narrow side for a true powder ski, so those dedicated to chasing the deepest stashes will want something wider.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size; more intermediate skiers may want to size down slightly.
