{"product_id":"2027-dynastar-m-cross-82-skis-dapx602","title":"2027 Dynastar M-Cross 82 Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eSitting below the M-Cross 88 in the line, the Dynastar M-Cross 82 narrows the focus to the trail without going full-on race. It uses the same hybrid wood and PU core and H-shaped titanal frame as the wider 88, but pairs them with a frontside-friendly waist and a similar pin-tailed shape. The result is a quick, carving-leaning all-mountain ski that's at home on groomers and capable enough to keep going when the chance to leave the trail comes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carving radius is what stands out here. Most skis in this width go for a longer arc, but the M-Cross 82 keeps the radius short, which translates to a ski that's eager to dance from edge to edge and turns easily at moderate speeds rather than asking you to commit to a big sweeping arc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntermediate and advanced skiers who spend most of their time on trail and want a ski that carves energetically without demanding expert technique. A great fit for skiers progressing from a rental ski into something more capable, and for resort skiers who want one ski that's optimized for hard snow but still functional in soft conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 82 borrows the M-Cross construction template wholesale: Hybrid Core 2.0 with the same tri-directional poplar core and PU perimeter, and an H-shaped titanal reinforcement underfoot for damping and edge hold. The narrower waist makes the ski noticeably quicker edge-to-edge than the 88, and the pin-tailed shape produces a smooth, easy-to-release turn that's especially welcome at moderate speeds. Adaptiv Sidecut creates a fluid transition from underfoot shape into the tip and tail geometry, sandwich full sidewall construction keeps edge engagement clean, and the Sintered HD base delivers strong glide for a ski in this category. The overall package is a ski that feels meaningfully sharper on hard snow than the wider M-Cross 88 without giving up the family's friendly handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 82 mm underfoot, the M-Cross 82 has limits in soft snow. Skiers who see real powder days on a regular basis should bump up to the M-Cross 88, which keeps the same shape philosophy in a wider, more versatile platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick your usual size. Skiers prioritizing tighter, more energetic turns can drop a length, while skiers who push higher speeds on groomers can stick with their normal frontside ski length.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynastar","offers":[{"title":"168","offer_id":51802109804840,"sku":"DAPX602|168","price":599.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"176","offer_id":51802109837608,"sku":"DAPX602|176","price":599.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"184","offer_id":51802109870376,"sku":"DAPX602|184","price":599.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2027-dynastar-m-cross-82-skis-dapx602-1-dapx602.jpg?v=1778769547","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2027-dynastar-m-cross-82-skis-dapx602","provider":"SkiEssentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
