A magnificent invention! If
they did not exist one would need to immediately go and invent them.
Such or similar comments were given in abundance by our testers when
referring to the top all rounder’s in the industry!
Two of the winners were even rated EXCELLENT and
the rest of the field lay close behind. It was a photo finish! The
enthusiasm of our testers came as no surprise. The highest marks
were awarded in this category because technical sophistication is
combined with the use of high-grade, materials in combination with
the latest of technology which result in a ski with downright
fantastic all round qualities. Applicable on all piste conditions.
Perfect when challenging friends on the speed course, and above all
off piste! The tapered shape corresponds with the giant slalom skis,
the slightly broader central width guarantees more buoyancy and
visually these skis deserve the honorary title ‘Eye catcher’. All
this was reflected in the score at the SnowStyle awards, dominating
the category in the last years.
This years test team: Miss Skier Cross Karin
Hutary, World Cup Lady Katharina Gutensohn, the World Cup skier
crossers Thomas Zangerl, Klaus Waldner and Geli Hiesel, Olympic
toboggan champion Wolfgang Linger and for the second time Austrian
pop minstrel Nik P. plus many more.

A very strong performance from the Dynamic VR21! Absolutely
top-level on long turns; a dexterous, well gripping ski that
provides a high extent of riding quality whilst being extremely
strength conserving to manoeuvre! And not to be forgotten – almost a
bargain in this league – so thought the Intersport specialist
Guenther Messner!
