Blast from the Recent Past - Dynastar Twister Mogul Skis are Back

If you are a hard core mogul masher, I don't have to explain a lot about the Dynastar Twisters. I've been reading some of the dedicated mogul skiing blogs and forums and one of the most mentioned ski is the Dynastar Twister. The secret to the Twister's long lasting competition fame is fiberglass sheets that are stacked in horizontal piles inside the core in a "leaf spring" formation to keep the ski twist-resistant while maintaining longitudinal flex. This ski was born so frisky Dynastar had to actually calm some of the mojo.

Always one of the most sought after pure mogul skis, even the older models are still a big seller on e-Bay - if you can find a pair that isn't gone before you can bid on it! Well, here's some good news for those bumpers still pining for the skinny Twister - a new Dynastar Twister Mogul Ski - Limited Edition is now available.

This Limited Edition comes 98-66-85mm in lengths 168, 175, and 182cm. As you can see, the Limited Edition is finished with some great Dynastar retro graphics that just might start some old hotdogger's knees aching from just looking at these bad boys. However, I'm told that the Limited Edition is being sold at only one shop in North America this year - Aspen East Ski Shop in Killington, VT. The skis are sold flat - i.e. no bindings - but you are going to love the price! One caveat when you buy a binding be sure to ask for a narrow (80mm) brake.

Before you gas up the VW sleeper van and head out climbing Rt 100, be aware that you can buy them online at the Aspen East online store.
