2027 Dynastar M-Tour 100 Skis with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings

The 2027 Dynastar M-Tour 100 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is built for the backcountry, borrowing its shape from the inbounds M-Pro 100 TI but swapping in a lightweight version of the Hybrid Core 2.0 and leaving out the titanal. It climbs efficiently and still skis playfully on the way down, and a progressive rocker profile and all-mountain waist make it a versatile touring platform that takes powder, crud, and firm snow in stride. We paired the M-Tour 100 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

Most touring skis settle for a softer flex to shave weight, but the M-Tour 100 keeps the directional shape and rocker profile of a serious downhill ski, so it skis genuinely well rather than only climbing well.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert backcountry skiers who want a versatile touring ski that will not trade downhill performance for uphill efficiency. It is especially good for those chasing real backcountry days who want one ski for everything from late-spring corn to mid-winter powder.

Highlights:

The M-Tour 100 runs a lightweight take on the Hybrid Core 2.0, a lighter poplar layup paired with PU that sheds weight without losing the smooth, damp ride that defines the line. The shape is lifted straight from the inbounds M-Pro 100 TI, which means a directional profile with progressive tip and tail rocker for float in soft snow and a short radius for tight terrain. A 100 mm waist balances float and quickness for variable backcountry snow, and the Sintered HD base lays down strong glide for an alpine touring ski. The payoff is a noticeably lighter ski than its inbounds sibling that still skis with a downhill personality. At the core is the three-part heel, which delivers the secure boot retention the Strive line is known for while keeping weight reasonable. Salomon's elastic travel keeps the binding planted through chatter and cut-up snow, so it does not get knocked offline easily. The LDN toe spreads lateral input across an extra-wide pedal for crisp edge-to-edge power transfer, and a sliding toe pedal lets the ski bend underfoot for a more natural flex. The whole assembly rides on a low-profile chassis that drops the stance and centers the skier over the ski. It accepts both standard alpine and GripWalk boot soles, and the binding is TUV certified.

Things to consider:

The lightweight build and the absence of titanal set a clear speed ceiling in chunky, refrozen snow. Skiers who routinely charge at high speed through variable backcountry conditions may prefer a heftier touring ski.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Choose your usual touring length, sizing up for float and stability on big-line days or down to stay nimble in tight terrain.
