To create the Vertical line, Dynastar actively collaborated with athlete and guide Vivian Bruchez: the declared goal was to create a ski capable of satisfying ski mountaineers who want to enjoy the freedom of the wildest mountain environment without compromising the performance. Our impression is that they have definitely achieved what they set out to do. Vertical 88 in particular combines very well the more purely ski mountaineering features (such as reduced width in the center and lightness to climb quickly) with a construction designed to facilitate the descent and speed when changing direction. Let’s go more specifically to understand from a technical point of view how all this is possible: the Pauwlonia core and the innovative basalt reinforcements are the basis of the overall reduced weight of the model, the type of wood and its density are in fact ideal for reduce the general weight, as well as basalt which, compared to the more classic glass fiber, offers the same mechanical properties (together with a shock absorbing capacity that really surprised us) but with several grams less. As far as the maneuverability and the downhill management of the tool are concerned, the technical aspects in support are different: the rocker profile at the tip, for example, facilitates curving allowing you to work with the entire length of the edges, while its construction helps to improve tightness and precision. A reliable and brilliant model for skiers whose playground is in the whole mountains.
