Freeride comp skiers (and those who ski like them) seem to be settling in on the 112-114mm waist range as their preferred width for "variable" conditions - meaning hard to predict ice and chunks under some sort of soft snow, and Dynastar was listening when they built the new, wider Dynastar M-Free 112 F-Team Skis. Coming from the proven success of the M-Free 108, they've kept the same philosophy in mind but expanded the surface area to handle the deep spots. If you love the 108, and many of us at evo do, the M-Free 112 will provide the same sort of good times when the snow gets deeper.
