Full Description
The stiffest of the three Actives in the next generation of Dynastar’s lady-specific skis, the Active Pro is designed for strong intermediate skiers right through to lighter experts.
The Pro has the same sidecut profile and shares most of its features with the next model down, the Active, but is slightly stiffer both torsionally (for more immediate reaction, strong grip and control) and longitudinally (for precise turn initiation and support through the turn at higher speeds). The Active Pro will engage in the turn as soon as you tip it over and hold on to the carve right to the end.
The Multicell core is light, lively and responsive for plenty of pop – this is a ski that’s a lot of fun.
Tip-only Performance Rocker helps with turn initiation while leaving the traditional camber underfoot for drive and response. The tail has no rocker giving longer effective edge for better grip and control right to the end of the turn, though the slightly rounded shape will still allow a lower level skier to break out of the carve into a skid if they need to.

TOP TIP
Ski Servicing
Watch out for shops that cut corners – and costs – by hardly ever servicing their skis, or just giving them a quick wax. Unserviced or badly serviced skis can ruin your whole week. Why pay for substandard kit?
