Dynastar M-Free 108 Wins SKI’s Wide-Ski Test at Deer Valley

SKI’s latest wide all-mountain ski test named Dynastar’s M-Free 108 the top performer at Deer Valley, Utah. The category covers skis measuring roughly 100 to 110 millimeters beneath the boot, a range intended to handle powder and steep terrain while remaining useful on groomed runs. The winning model earned consistently strong scores rather than dominating one area, and it tied for the best flotation result.

The M-Free 108 returns for the 2027 season with a new graphic but no stated design change. Testers found it easy to steer, steady on firm slopes, capable in changing snow, and livelier than its width might suggest. Its broad front section helps it stay high in powder, while the construction allows skiers to release turns without much effort. The traditional mounting position adds some weight toward the tip, so skiers seeking an especially springy feel may prefer something more energetic.

Rossignol’s Soul 102, Blizzard’s Rustler 10, and Stöckli’s Stormrider 108 were also among the strongest models. The Soul 102 has now led the category three times in succession and returns with updated graphics and a revised name. The Rustler 10 comes back with a new graphic and earned especially high marks for initiating turns quickly.
