Turn off your alarm, get the coffee brewing, throw the Dynastar Exculsive Pro Rider Alpine Ski on your racks, and get your place in line with the rest of the powder addicts waiting for the avalanche crews to open the canyon. Big days call for big skis, and this women's-specific powder ski floats with the big boys. Dynastar made the Exculsive Pro Rider Ski with a stiff, but lightweight wood-Rohacell core and within a titanal sandwich reinforcement. This weight-saving combination provides a stable ride while you arc GS turns in the back bowls and hit Mach 3 on the groomers without leaving your legs dead at the end of each run. Dynastar gave the Pro Rider extra-wide sidecuts and extra-wide tip shape for maximum floatation so you can leave the water wings and nose plug at home.

Caution: The Dynastar Exculsive Pro Rider Alpine Ski likes big lines and breakneck speeds—novices beware.
