SPEED Course Master GS
Including SPX 12 Bindings
This high performance GS ski combines pure power with enhanced agility, offering a race like feel without the limitations of a pure FIS race ski. Featuring a full ash wood core and full length titanal reinforcement, it delivers exceptional energy and fun when tipped onto the edge, adapting to various turn shapes. All ICE coaches rely on these skis for daily coaching. We believe this is an excellent choice for strong skiers on our Level 3 ISIA or Level 4 ISTD training programmes, offering the necessary high end performance while remaining agile enough to handle different turn types and varying piste conditions. The Master GS is recommended exclusively for those on the Level 3 & 4 courses and not for those on the Level 1 & 2 courses.
SPEED Omeglass Master SL
Including SPX 12 Bindings
This is essentially the same construction as the Master GS ski but it comes in a much more radical sidecut to smash out smaller arcs on hard, icy conditions. It is an amazing ski, with incredible energy and grip. It's the most exciting ski to try out of our selection, but it is very focused on those shorter arcs. If you are on our either our Level 3 ISIA or Level 4 ISTD courses and have the budget for both a SL and a GS, go for it! Otherwise, we would recommend the Master GS above as a better all round choice for ultimate piste performance.
SPEED Omeglass FIS SL (165cm or 157cm)
Including SPX 12 Bindings
This FIS race ready ski features a rectangular sandwich construction, vertical sidewalls, and titanal reinforcements, providing unmatched agility, edge control, and snow contact for maximum power and precision. If you are an aggressive skier looking for a short turning, more reactive option, this might be a better choice than the Speed Omeglass Master SL R22 above. If you are unsure which ski to choose, please don't hesitate to contact us.
SPEED 550
Including SPX 12 Bindings
The Dynastar Speed 550 Konect ski is designed for those who enjoy carving groomers with precision. Compared to the ‘Masters’ series, the 963’s have a lighter, hybrid wood core which makes it much easier to access high grip and performance. This model is intended for high performance use on groomed slopes and impresses with its stable and responsive handling. Its 70mm waist allows for quick edge-to-edge transitions, making them ideal for comprehensive on piste training. We highly recommend the 550's as the ski of choice for good skiers enrolled in our 10 week, 5 week, or 6 week courses. It is an excellent choice for skiers who want a reliable ski for our courses but prefer something easier to handle and something that is more budget friendly.
SPEED 650
Including SPX 12 Bindings
The Speed 650 Konect ski embodies Dynastar’s take on piste performance. Designed for carving enthusiasts and inspired by slalom skis, it is perfectly suited to days spent on a flat piste. It delivers outstanding precision in every turn and has the ability to vary your rhythm, ensuring total enjoyment for those who love a sporty ride. With a tighter turn radius, they are versatile enough for all turn shapes, making them ideal for comprehensive on piste training. We highly recommend the 650's as the ski of choice for good skiers enrolled in our 10 Week, 5 Week, or 6 Week courses.
WOMEN'S SPECIFIC SKIS
When women's specific skis first appeared on the market, they were often defined more by their graphics than their performance, with floral top sheets and limited design innovation. Thankfully, those days are long gone. Today's women's skis incorporate the same cutting edge technology found across the industry's top performing models and are available in a huge range of styles, from piste and all mountain to freeride and touring.
Women's skis are typically designed around average differences in body proportions and centre of mass. They often offer a wider selection of shorter lengths, may use lighter construction materials to reduce overall weight, and frequently feature a slightly more forward binding position to complement these design considerations. However, these are general design principles rather than rules. Many strong and aggressive skiers are equally at home on women's specific skis or unisex models, and the best choice will always depend on your skiing style, ability, and personal preference rather than gender alone.
E-LITE 9
Including NX 12 Bindings
The E-Lite 9 prioritises stability and control at speed, so you can carve, steer and play around the mountain. The full length power transfer of the V-Tech design transfers power throughout the ski for maximum control through every turn. A Hybrid poplar wood core with PU gives a smooth ride and allows you to focus on making great turns. For any girls on our course, we believe this is the go to women’s specific ski for our 10 week, 5 week and 6 week Level 1/2 courses. It is the perfect balance of great performance and ease of use.
E-LITE 8
Including NX 12 Bindings
The E-Lite 8 provides a more accessible and lighter alternative to the E-Lite 9. Its full length power transfer through the V-Tech design ensures maximum control on every turn. The hybrid poplar wood core combined with PU delivers a smooth ride, letting you focus on perfecting your turns. With full sidewall construction, it offers robust edge control throughout each turn. This ski is an excellent choice for those seeking a reliable, easy to handle option that is also budget friendly for our courses.
OFF-PISTE SKIS
M-Pro 94 TI Open
Including SPX 13 Bindings
The M-Pro range combines powerful precision with all terrain versatility. Purpose built for tackling various snow conditions, it's large rocker excels in deeper powder, making it ideal for off piste adventures. This ski comes in two different widths, this is the narrower version, with being 94mm underfoot. This is a ski which is definitely focused on deeper conditions and would suit skiers on our 4 week all-terrain course, or for skiers who would prefer a ski which is more suited to off piste. Although it is amazing to use in powder, the ski will be more of a compromise on the hard pack piste and is less suitable for prolonged training for this reason.
M-Pro 100 Open
Including SPX 13 Bindings
The M-Pro 100 Open is another standout in the new M-Pro range, designed for those who crave adventure and the thrill of off piste skiing. With a 100mm waist, it offers exceptional floatation, allowing you to glide effortlessly over deep powder snow. If you are someone who loves the sensation of surfing on snow, this ski is an ideal choice for you. The M-Pro 100 blends power and agility, delivering a versatile freeride experience. Its excellent edge grip, precision, and fast float in soft snow ensures responsive handling in all conditions, while providing a refined feel for the snow beneath your feet.
