Dynastar M-Tour 108 F-Team
After much anticipation, Dynastar has at long last, unveiled the M-Tour 108 to join their family of high-performance M-Tour skis. Like its skinnier older siblings, the M-Tour 90 and 99, the M-Tour 108 is built with a full sandwich sidewall for power transmission and durability, basalt fiber mounting reinforcement, and an Adaptiv Sidecut with a directional rocker profile, which all work together to keep the ski versatile, easy to steer, stable, and quick edge-to-edge, no matter what kind of snow is underfoot. Unique to the M-Tour 108, Dynastar swapped paulownia for poplar in the Hybrid PU core. This helps the wider ski preserve the energy and pop that made its predecessors so popular, which is amplified by the inclusion of polyurethane in the ski core. A 20-meter turn radius with a softer and forgiving tip combined with the slightly stiffer tail means that the ski handles just as well zipping around tight trees as it does when you open it up for long and fast turns on empty slopes. At the end of the day, all of this comes together to make a lightweight performance ski that boasts an impressive fun factor that you will appreciate on your first turn.
- Hybrid Light Poplar PU is energetic and responsive for fun skiing across the board and damp enough to tackle any conditions.
- Directional rocker keeps the ski stable at speed and floaty in powder.
- Basalt Fiber V2 binding reinforcement is a lightweight solution for keeping your bindings attached to the ski.
- Adaptiv Sidecut seamlessly merges the underfoot sidecut into the tip and tail shape, which makes linking turns natural and smooth as butter.
- Energetic, “poppy,” friendly, and versatile, we challenge you not to have fun on this ski.

Questions & Reviews
What do you think about the mounting point being set very far back? Does it make sense to move it forward by 2-3 cm or would you advise against it with regard to the construction/function?
Greetings Martin
It is a pretty rearward mount point! That said, this is a uniquely shaped ski with a lot of tip splay and a flatter tail. Due to the shape, I do think the rearward mount point makes sense. A few of us here at the shop have skied it on recommended and thought it performed well! I did not feel like it was difficult to turn and I didn't feel like I was mounted too far back on the ski. So, I would not necessarily recommend moving it forward. For skiers who know that they want a progressive mount point, I think there are other options that will suit them better!
Both are capable skis, not particularly demanding or forgiving. The Zero G is a bit more traditional, while the M-Tour almost feels more like a freeride ski. In dense, grabby conditions, I would lean towards the M-Tour thanks to the big shovel. But really it depends on what type of poor conditions you're dealing with, and your skiing style. Feel free to shoot us an email at help@skimo.co and we can get you more personalized recommendations.
Compared to the Backland, the M-Tour is a bit stiffer, and has minimal tail rise. Its tails will want to hold onto turns more and will take more input to release. They are both great directional powder touring skis, but I think the M-Tour 108 will have a little more appetite for open areas and higher speeds, and may feel a bit more powerful on edge, whereas the Backland will be easier to slide around and weave through the trees, and feel looser at lower speeds while still having the ability to ski faster.
We haven't gotten our hands on these skis yet, so we haven't been able to measure the mount point and it doesn't appear to be available online that I can see. So not sure yet! The M-Tour 99 recommended line is 12cm behind true center in the 178 version, for reference. I would guess that it might be slightly more forward than that on the wider version, but can't say for sure. Should know soon!
