2026 Dynastar M-Free 100 Open Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings
The all-new 2026 Dynastar M-Free 100 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings takes two decades of twin-tip legacy and distills it into a freeride platform that’s equally at home stomping cliffs, carving groomers, and slashing side hits. Now updated with Hybrid Core 2.0 construction and a redesigned 100 mm waist, this ski brings new-school creativity and big-mountain energy into one wildly versatile package. From powder laps to park-inspired glade lines, the M-Free 100 is built to blur boundaries. We paired the M-Free 100 Open with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.
Why we like it:
This ski is pure freeride freedom—powerful and energetic when you want to push it, playful and expressive when you want to style it out. It’s one of the few true twin-tip skis in the 100 mm category that doesn’t shy away from charging hard while still keeping things fun and surfy.
Who it's for:
Advanced to expert skiers who crave a responsive and stable ski with a twin-tip design. Ideal for those who mix groomers, glades, and powder with park hits and creative lines. If you want one ski that handles freestyle flair and freeride power without compromise, this is your match.
Highlights:
Dynastar’s Hybrid Core 2.0 brings together responsive poplar and vibration-absorbing PU for a ride that’s both energetic and smooth. The drastic tip and tail rocker combined with deep camber underfoot deliver an aggressive yet surfy shape. It carves with power and rebounds with pop, while still being loose enough to pivot and slash when needed. The twin-tip shape keeps things creative, whether you're spinning, buttering, or just throwing style into every turn. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission
Things to consider:
This isn’t a mellow cruiser. The M-Free 100 likes to be pushed and rewards strong technique, especially in tighter terrain or at slower speeds. If you’re more finesse-focused or prefer a forgiving flex, you might want to look elsewhere.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These skis run slightly short due to their heavy rocker and twin-tip design. Aggressive skiers looking for top-end stability should size up. Intermediate or progressing advanced skiers may want to stick with their usual size or size down slightly for easier handling.
