The CHAM range, constructed in the Chamonix valley, the cradle of extreme skiing, pushes back the limits of Freeride & simultaneously makes it more accessible. The new ‘levitation Profile’ & Dynastar’s high quality manufacturing processes combine to deliver an unbeatable mix of handling, flotation, power & stability in all snow conditions. The CHAM 97 is the next-generation 5-point sidecut Freeride ski that delivers a unique, user-friendly blend of float, manoeuvrability, & stability in all snow conditions. Combining a tapered tip & tail with traditional sidecut underfoot for both effortless manoeuvrability & powerful turns in new snow, & the ability to hold its edge & carve on harder snow. It features Dynastars Levitation Profile which has a long rockered tip, classic camber under the foot, & a flat pintail. Combined with a 97mm waist, these features give the Cham 97 great float through powder, but also, thanks to the titanal core construction excellent edge-grip on the hardpack. Ski

- We recommend the Look PX12 Wide Bindings Ski Features All snow Rocker: A fairly long, progressive tip-only rocker for enhanced terrain absorption & impeccable flotation in powder. Ski rotation is facilitated making fore/aft balance easier & reducing muscle fatigue off-piste. The flat tail means you don’t lose the tail pressure required for high speed Freeride or off-piste jump lands. Wood titanal Construction Traditional sandwich technology with wood core & two titanal layers that provide excellent stability in carving & greatly reduced torsional effects. The power is provided by two layers of fibreglass whose basic weight varies depending on the model & the desired skiability. The double melamine/phenol sidewalls ensure flexibility & power according to the skiers needs in the direct phases of the turn. Pin & flat tail: A flat, narrower tail that maximises the benefits of the 5 point sidecut. Levitation profile: The combination of a 5 point sidecut, extra long tip rocker, traditional camber underfoot & narrower ‘pin-tail’ produces the reliability & versatility that are essential in Freeride. Skier Profile Ski Terrain: All-Mountain Freeride skiing & powder skiing Snow Conditions: All snow conditions from ice to powder Skier Profile: Advanced, Expert & Professional skiers Although this ski has significant rocker at the tip it remains relatively flat on the tail. This, in combination with the pin-tail shape allows for enhanced balance & helps maintains direction when playing in deeper snow & allows for a smooth ride with easy turn initiation. However with a Woodcore & titanal sheets to help stiffen this ski you get a smooth transition between turns on hardpack as well as in powder & this core, combined with traditional camber at the waist, offers (like all Dynastar skis before them) great stability, edge grip & power. This ski powers through whatever is in front of it, be it crud, ha
