Get ready for some high performance speed! The Legend Pro is a skier’s ski designed for those who know what they want, and are ready to go after it! I ski the 186 in every condition. I can turn ‘em when I want to and they will go as fast as I want to go!
This ski is a definite if you shred big mountain terrain everyday. It is great on everything but moguls and excels in going fast. If you like to go fast and take chances this ski is for you.
demo'd these skis in Chamonix on a 30cm powder day. they want to go straight and excel in steep and deep. excellent float and power over windblown and crud. however, they felt heavy and a bit awkward in jump/short turns on steep and tracked-out pitches. my only other reference point is the line prophet and volkl gotamas, which i think have the same power as the legend pro but are better in dynamic snow and situations.
Finally Dynastar has made a Pro Rider for us height/weight challenged! I am 5'6 and 130 pounds, not a candidate for the first lengths that the Pro Rider was originally made. But with the 176cm length I can experience what all my male buddies have been raving about for years. These skis are fantastic! They are dreamy in powder, power thru crud, and if I have to ski groomers when I am skiing the Pro's,they RIP.The best discovery of these awesome skis is that they turn easier than one would expect from such a burly ski. I do prefer a race/carving ski when it is truly bullet-proof, but I didn't buy the Legend Pro's to ski hard pack. They will be part of my quiver for years to come.
Rode 2 days @ Stevens Pass, WA. I’m 5' 8" 160# and went with the 186cm for my ‘big ski’. These skis are more manageable than I'd expected – I might make these my everyday ski. They like to go fast and they like you to charge the mountain and they inspire confidence when you do so. In very tight spaces, they can get a bit unwieldy and I’m not 100% sure they will be appropriate for steep (>50) and narrow couloirs as they love to accelerate. To carve, you just need to get enough speed (35+). A bit skinny for a big powder day/ski which has me wondering about the XXL. If you like to charge hard in the bowls/steeps at places like Whistler, you will be smiling big on this ski. Thanks Dynastar!
This ski crushes everything it touches. Sure, it's not a groomer ski, but it is the only fat ski I've been on that not only comes out of the race dept but is built like it. Tell the guy that can't turn 'em to buy some sissy K2's.
Great all around ski. I went a little short, but am very happy with it. I purchased this ski to be my everyday Tahoe ski. It work well at edging very firm snow. That night we got 12 inches of blower - and it killed it. So nice to be able to edge when you hit bottom.
Being stiff, I am not super fond of this ski in heavier fresh snow, but that is not what I bought it for. I know it will kill the corn. Buying a little shorter makes it easier to handle in tight trees, chutes and bumps. If I went longer, I would probably look at the XXL for more float.
Just got these skis, put on some freeride bindings and used adrenaline boots for spring skiing in New Zealand. The 186's feel like 196's. They go seriously fast, turn when told to and can ignore the worst storm rime and ice blocks. Short turns on ice? No problems. High speed GS turns on powder fields? No worries. Heavy to carry up the hill, but what a ride! Not for the faint hearted or those used to soft turning noodle skis. If you only resort ski, don't bother. Kinda sorry I didn't get the XXL's. I do have one concern, however, in that I am totally mystified by the strange metal plates at front and back. What on earth do they do?

wont buy another ski until this one falls apart. then ill buy these again
I own these in both the 194 and 186 and have even demoed a 176. In pow, assuming you have the skill to rip high speed GS turns...they are rock solid. On hardpack, they rail like my race stock GS skis. They are too stiff and heavy for skiing bumps, but those interested in the LPs aren't interested bump skiing. If you have the skills and are a speed freak this are the skis for you. I've demoed similar boards from nearly all of the big manufacturers and they don't compare. Also, the build quality is much better.
This ski is not for cruising. They are heavy and stiff. It feels like you are riding on train tracks at speed. My favorite things about them is they will not chatter/washout and they hold an edge on steep firm snow like razor blades. This is a good ski for Europe and any other place that has enough real estate to build some speed up.
Super impressed by this ski. It excelled on chopped pow -- the tip is super stiff and stable, and can plow through just about anything. Make no mistake about it: this ski wants to go straight. It's great for those who want to attack the fall line. However, I found it fairly easy to handle in trees and tight spots when I really needed it to perform (I was on the 187s, and I'm 5 8, 180). A great all around ski for advance rippers who like to go fast and want a stiff, solid pair of boards.
