The Manaslu was designed for an expedition to Mount Manaslu in Nepal, where skiers would ski at over 26,000 ft. The ski needed to be lightweight, reliable and strong on the descent. Dynafit achieved their goal their goal with the Manaslu, then worked it over for a women's-specific backcountry dream. The new Dynafit Manaslu Ski for Women features an Isocore Palownia core for an energetic, poppy feel. A long, fat shovel keeps this ski charging over deep snow or variable snow conditions. The Manaslu is the perfect ski for freeride ski touring, yet it has also found a home with downhill skiers looking for a lightweight all-mountain ski. It performs well at high speed with a sintered graphite coated base which is more resistant with improved gliding characteristics and better wax absorption. Dynafit has over 50 years of ski experience and more than a few skiers have earned gold on Dynafit equipment. See how it feels to be lady of the summit.
