M-Pierra Menta Open 2024
The essential M-Pierra Menta 2021 touring ski from Dynastar returns this season more technical and lighter than ever.
Constantly developed for and by ski mountaineers who love competition, the Pierra Menta combines technical skills with climbing and excellent skiability on steep slopes.
Thanks to its ultra-light high-end construction, it has an incredible grip in hard snow thanks to the use of quality materials. The use of a new generation of carbon fibres in its structure makes it lively and its ultralight Dynacell core makes it three times lighter than a traditional wood core.
For competitors, every detail counts: Its record-breaking, 710 g per ski weight (for 160 cm), is the result of years of research. Its extreme torsional rigidity makes it an eye-catching ski on slopes, making it extremely easy to ascend, while retaining irreproachable stability on descents.
As with the previous season's model, there is a 65 mm waist, a light tip rocker, and a pronounced camber. These features enable Pierra Menta to offer an effective relaunch with each push. It is designed for the steepest climbs to go faster and higher, even creating its own trail.
On a steep slope, skiing is safe and moving from edge to edge is easy: When on the edges, Dynastar's M-Pierra Menta 2021 is very stable and consistent in turns mainly due to its stiff and consistent flex along the entire length of the ski.
The high performance ski Pierra Menta is designed for experienced hikers looking to defy the clock and swallow up some elevation gain - this ski is the shortest route to the summits!
Turn radius: 23 m
Weight: 1.42 kg
-Shape:
Classic Camber TIP ROCKER: moderate tip rocker. It makes flat pivots easier, combining smooth turning with a high level of tolerance. The moderate profile means that the skis turn on the full length of their edges.
-Construction:
Sandwich: Modern sandwich construction with a wooden core, vertical edges, fiberglass as well as Titanal or carbon reinforcements: The wooden core gives the ski its character and the rectangular structure allows for a better distribution of flexibility. The vertical sidewalls provide a powerful and effective grip.
Core structure
Ultralight Cell Core: Ultra-light Dynacell core, three times lighter than the Paulownia core
-Technology:
Carbon Fibre: Allows you to have a much more stable, lighter and also more rigid ski.
The Pierra Menta is back this season, as invigorating and light as ever.
Progress is most visible on the way down: Skiing feels sporty with just a touch of snow. Its tip rocker reinforces its skiability and you feel at ease even on steep slopes.
In hard snow, there is less room for error: Skiing is a nervous sport and therefore you need to have the necessary physique and technique to master skiing in difficult conditions.
On the ascent, the relaunch is excellent due to the rigidity of the skis. The ski is in constant contact with the snow and we climb without worrying about our equipment thanks to its featherweight, one of the lightest on the market. With the pair on your feet, you gain lots in speed and efficiency
In hard snow, there is less room for error: The Pierra Menta is jumpy and you need to have the necessary thighs to hold the ski in difficult conditions.
Advantages: Lightness, Snow feel, Skiability
Les moins: Skiing is rather physical downhill because it is rigid
