Dynafit Ridge 95 Ski
With the Ridge 95, Dynafit set out to create a high-performance, easy-to-use ski for the discerning, speed-oriented backcountry skier. The goal was to make a ski that wasn't too light to ski aggressively on, but efficient enough for whatever long missions you might have in mind. Inspired by Dynafit's speed touring and racing heritage, it features the usual tip notch for quick transitions and sports an athletic weight to move uphill quickly, all day long. With camber underfoot and a progressive tip rocker, the Ridge 95 is surefooted and precise but initiates turns quite easily. A selectively milled titanal laminate sheet provides exceptional torsional rigidity and dampening for a ski in this weight class, which makes the Ridge an excellent choice for spring mountaineering lines or firm and variable snow. Full sidewalls add to the excellent dampening properties and increase durability. A slightly longer sidecut will allow for stability at speed and plenty of edge contact, while still feeling fun and energetic. With its versatile waist width, competitive weight, and construction aimed at enhancing skiability, the Ridge 95 will be a staple in your quiver you count on in any snow conditions.
- Titanal Boost technology adds torsional stiffness, superior dampening, and increased edge control.
- Progressive tip rocker allows the Ridge 95 to plane up in powder and initiate turns easily.
- Full sidewalls for secure edge hold and rock resistance.
- Tip and tail notches pair seamlessly with Dynafit's excellent precut Speedskins.
- Constant Characteristics help keep the ski predictable in sketchy snow and hard exits.
- Thin Tip shaves material where it's not needed to lower swing weight, helping with turn initiation.

Questions & Reviews
This is a nice and versatile ski! I do not think it is the best ski for a beginner, as it is fairly stiff, but it isn't what I would call difficult to handle. It's pretty intuitive. The metal laminate does give it a very damp feeling for a ski in this class. My impressions were that it is a precise ski with great edge hold and a nice all-around weight for ski touring. It was excellent on hardpack snow, and I think it would be pretty fun in powder too, although not exactly "playful".
Unfortunately, we don't have the skis on hand yet to take pictures, but if you're still interested, reach out to us in the fall (around mid-October), and we will be happy to snap a photo for you!
