Dynafit seems to change their color theme about once a year, that theme is from about 3 years ago or so, at least for the TLT…

Steve, that Chogori looks like a good ski, send in a guest blog report once you ski on ‘em and I’ll post it. I picked the MX09 because Marolt recommended them, I’m sure there are quite a few other choices out there.

As for “every day of the week,” one word, hyperbole.

I stopped reading at “so why not have a ski for every day of the week” which was the best part of the review! I’ve been looking at the K2 Chogori (from Backcountry.com of course and currently on sale) as a lighter weight but not too skinny ski for the same usage.

I like the color scheme on those Dynafits, is that another Lou mod or is that what next years models will be colored like?

David, perhaps I was comparing them to a fault with my more soft-snow oriented skis I’ve been on recently. I’ll keep your comments in mind as I get on some other planks. If I got the wrong impression I’ll be the first to admit it. I did have a really sharp tune on the MX09s, so that might have been what I felt in terms of bite.

Several people did tell me they thought the MX09 was a decent “couloir ski,” so whatever…

At any rate, thanks for your comment!

Lou: How about a “dream setup” recommendation for springtime couloir and corn harvesting? I’m thinking Dynafit Comforts, a light ski like this (maybe a touch wider for when it gets gloppy) and possibly Mega Rides. Any suggestions?
