    Comments about Dynastar CHAM 87:

    I tried the Cham 87 166cm for a week in March. We had all possible snowconditions; everything between fresh powder hills and heavy mogul slopes. I usually enjoy groomed terrains more than powder but these skis totally changed that. They float and rotate very easy. I even enjoyed moguls for the first time. Only when I tried full speed carving, they couldn't keep up but still they performed better than I expected from a freeride ski.

    The only reason for me not to buy these skis is that I'm a girl. I am a little too small/light for this type of skis. I'm looking forward to the 2014 women's version of the Cham 87.

      Comments about Dynastar CHAM 87:

      I tryed those skis before I bought them. It is so easy to ryde. Great grip and I was good surprised of the transition and grip and carv on hard snow. On a realy high spped the Rocker vibrates when you push the turn. I tryed the 178 and the 172 and the transitions on the 172 much much faster. 178 almost no vibration, but this is not a race ski, so it is realy easy and you do not get tired skiing. Soft and easy. I realy recommend it. I have not tryed on powder snow. I will do soon, I'm sure will respond realy good on powder snow. It is so soft and easy to go. And when you push the carv , responds realy good.

        Comments about Dynastar CHAM 87:

        Before the purchased, I demo two other manufactures skies. There was no comparison in the fast edge to edge response nor the quickness to obtain and edge. The soft tip allows for easy entrance into moguls and "tip lift" in powder. I carved thru powder to broken snow to hard pack/ice effortlessly. The edge remain solid thru the transition of snow types. I have never skied the moguls better! Take these skies for a test drive before you buy another pair of skies
