Dynastar lady skis are hard to beat at any level and the beginner – intermediate Neva X’press Eco is no exception. A rental-specific model but based on the Neva 74, this is a balanced and confidence building option.

Great for :

Progressing intermediate ladies

Not so great for :

Once you start to really get to grips with it you’ll probably be ready for more ski.

Target ability level :

No gimmicks, no fads, no bells or whistles, just a great ski for lower end ladies that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

The 74 mil waist is wide enough for plenty of confidence-building stability under foot yet narrow enough to move reasonably quickly from egde to edge as you start to get to grips with carving. The sidecut profile of 124/74/100 is shaped so as to encourage the ski to carve when you tip it over yet not so wide at either tip or tail as to catch or throw you off balance. The tail is also nicely rounded in both directions to allow plenty of skidding when you need it rather than holding right on to the carve to the end of the turn.

All Mountain Rocker uses a short and low rocker section in the tip and an even shorter one in the tail to make the ski easier to control and more manoeuvrable as well as less aggressive for a lower end skier.
