With the M-VERTICAL 88 OPEN,Dynastar offers a unisex all-mountain ski designed for skiers who want to tackle a variety of terrain—from off-piste to powder—without sacrificing on-piste versatility. Its 88 mm waist width provides a balance between float in fresh snow and precision on groomed snow. The construction and materials used make this ski suitable for both intermediate and advanced skiers.

A Hybrid Core made of Paulownia and PU reduces weight without compromising the stiffness of the Dynastar M-VERTICAL 88 OPEN skis

The core combines Paulownia wood and polyurethane, a combination that reduces the ski’s weight by 15 to 20% compared to a traditional poplar core. The advertised total weight of 1,080 g per ski directly reflects this material choice: less inertia when turning and increased maneuverability on technical terrain. This core is reinforced with unidirectional fiberglass and second-generation basalt fiber, which contribute to the ski’s overall stability and vibration absorption on groomed snow.

Full Sidewall Sandwich Construction for precise force transmission

The Full Sidewall Sandwich construction fully envelops the core along its sides, improving force transmission between the boot and the base. In practice, edge engagement is more direct and progressive—a noticeable advantage as soon as the terrain steepens or the snow compacts. The Sintered HD Base complements this design by offering long-lasting glide that’s less prone to wear than traditional extruded bases.

Geometry and rocker tailored for all-terrain alpine skiing

The 120-88-110 mm dimensions create a balanced ski: a tip wide enough to initiate turns effortlessly off-piste, and a 110 mm tail that ensures stability when exiting turns. The moderate Tip Rocker at the tip makes it easier to initiate turns on variable snow and reduces digging in at the start of turns in powder. With a 16-meter turning radius, the ski remains agile in tight terrain while maintaining sufficient stability at high speeds. The three available lengths—156, 164, and 172 cm—allow the ski to be tailored to each skier’s build and riding style.

The Dynastar M-VERTICAL 88 OPEN ski is manufactured in France, a detail that reflects the integrated production control incorporated into the design of this all-mountain ski.
