Dynastar M-Free 118 | 2024

The bigger, less-demanding brother of the M-Free line, the 118 is designed for those special days we only get a few times a ski season. You know the ones—a foot (or two) of fresh overnight, no lift lines and endless terrain to plunder. Arguably easier to throw around than the 108, the M-Free 118 delicately balances the line between playfulness and stability. A poplar wood core combined with a progressive shape offers both rigidity and responsiveness—two important traits for a good time. The 118-mm waist is plenty wide for most storm days, but don’t let these fatties fool you. They’ll pop and play all over the mountain at any speed. For legendary freeskier Shannon Schad, the Dynastar M-Free 118 was “one of [his] favorite skis for a big mountain like Jackson.” “Super easy to ski for a big ski,” adds Eric Peterson.
