Description of Dynastar Legend 8000 Fluid All Mountain Ski with PX12:
The Dynastar Legend 8000 Alpine Ski and PX 12 Binding combine for a burly all-mountain package that takes you from powder to bumps to corduroy. The Legend 8000 Ski follows the Dynastar tradition of strength and performance. A wood core and Titanal sandwich construction give the Legend 8000 durable strength and power to rip through crud and power through long turns on the corduroy. The PX12 Binding's Full Drive toe piece transmits energy directly to your ski and has a multi-directional release to protect your knee and ankle joints if you take a digger.
Bottom Line: The Dynastar Legend 8000 Alpine Ski and PX 12 Binding make a go-anywhere, ski-everything one-ski quiver.
I have the Legend 8000 model from a couple seasons ago. Am a fairly petite lady, but an expert skier, and the 158s def worked out. But sometimes they require me to exert a bit more muscle than I prob would need to otherwise on a different ski (I imagine due to the degree of stiffness).
What I LOVE most tho is how I feel on these babies rippin on bumps.
This ski does it all. If you are looking for a ski that has moderate width for powder, great carving ability, and terrific Maneuverability for quick turns and bumps, this ski should be at one of the top slots of your list. For some this could be a quiver of one for all mountain conditions all the time; for others this ski would fit very well in a quiver with a powder specific ski for those really deep days if you ski/live out west. As said above, all mountain all day long. This ski will take you anywhere on the mountain.
These skis are amazing in the bumps... I have never skied anything better on moguls. They are great through heavy crud, and pretty good floatation in up to 18" of fresh powder so far. The only thing to complain about is they aren't great for carving on goomers, otherwise they are superb!
