Our reviewers favourite for 2016.
The Omeglass Pro from Dynastar is a true slalom ski and explosive when linking short turns at high speed.
But it’s also a nimble and playful ski that will give riders an incredible adrenaline rush, while remaining accessible and versatile enough for relaxed leisure rides.
An excellent offering for 2016, it’s one of the best skis in the 2016 review. We recommend... Read on

ProSkiLab™ has tested the Dobermann GSR EDT several times in the past, awarding it top ratings. Once again this year, it tops the category thanks to its extremely strong performance for a non FIS ski (in other words, not a real competition ski). Voted best Giant ski 2016, we recommend this model for riders looking above all for performance, such as good to expert skiers and competitors.

The Mantra scored top marks already last year in the ProSkiLab™ ski review and its exceptional performance in this segment is again confirmed this year.
In addition to its well above average performance and remarkable handling qualities, it’s also fun to use.
This benchmark ski actually ran out of stock in some European countries last year. We recommend this ski to all riders looking for pleasure... Read on

Nordica’s Enforcer did remarkably well in this all mountain session in particularly difficult conditions.
Flexible and lively (one of our reviewers described it as ‘catlike’), fiendishly efficient, remarkably user-friendly, and adaptable to the grommers and freeride depending on the skier, this is the ideal model for the majority of skiers looking for the best combination of efficiency, pleasure...

As its name suggests, the Laser SC from Stöckli is a true descendant of a slalom ski. It has kept all of its bite without sacrificing accessibility which the reviewers judged to be excellent. It’s a highly convincing ski that was awarded the much sought after Proskilab™ 'reviewers’ favourite' 2016.

While it already scored high in last year’s ProSkiLab™ reviews, this year’s model takes first place on the podium. Highly intuitive and easy to handle, it will give beginners and fledgling riders the confidence to go further. In addition, this highly progressive ski will help skiers to make technical progress and to move on to the next level, notably carved turns. Warmly recommended by the ProSkilab™... Read on

We were surprised that Dynastar sent us an "Omeglass" for this category, as the line is usually reserved for slalom skis. Consequently we were relatively sceptical about its qualities, especially as we couldn’t try it before the test. Well, we were wrong and the Omeglass S proved to be an excellent ski!
This remarkably progressive ski quite simply adapts to the rider’s pace... Incredible! It’s... Read on

Congratulations Dynastar for the Elite 11 which won the heart of our reviewers. It’s a model that dovetails perfectly with the "Women’s High-end" category that demands a balanced combination of performance, comfort and accessibility. Elite 11 managed to do this brilliantly and it will be the ideal companion for a large majority of average to good riders.

The younger brother of the (now famous) Mantra that did particularly well in the ProSkiLab™ review and was best seller of the year, the Kendo has adopted the same recipe with the same success.
The ski stands out for its remarkable performance for this category both on and off piste. A ski for riders who want to ‘fly’, we recommend it for good to expert skiers looking for a powerful ski that’s... Read on
