Dynastar Exclusive Elite review 2011
Women's skis 2011 > Women's advanced Best ski 2011
The Dynastar Exclusive Elite ranks high in the "Advanced" category where we're looking for a well-balanced ski above all. It combines performance, polyvalence, comfort and pleasure and is an excellent choice for good to expert thrill-seeking skiers looking for a great all-round ski.
The Exclusive Active is a very good progressive ski. This model’s target is quite similar to Rossignol’s Attraxion III Echo, in other words the beginner to intermediate skier. Our reviewers also judged the design to be particularly successful.
Atomic's reputation is based on its products' excellent performance, often noted in Winter-Sports.com test sessions. The WF75W is no exception but the level of physical and technical prowess required loses its points in the "Advanced" category where we're looking for accessibility, comfort and suitable for athletic, good to very good skiers who want a powerful ski to carve across the slopes.

Skiers looking to attack steep slopes on hard snow will be better off chooosing a more sports-oriented product.
Opinions differed over the Night Elve as some reviewers apparently found it difficult to come to grips with. The ski didn't perform well enough to rank high in the "Advanced Women" category. It's suitable for beginners, on medium slopes, skid turns, and for ski touring.
A nice name and very feminine design for this ski, designed solely for beginners. The Breeze has some serious weaknesses in terms of performance for a good position in the "intermediate" category. It is possible that some of the weaknesses noted were due to a production fault on the pair sent to us by Fischer, in which case we’ll be only too happy to review the model again next year.
We found this ski difficult to assess. Several reviewers said they found it difficult to handle and, unfortunately, the ski is not accessible enough for this category. A ski to try before buying...
