Dynafit Mezzalama Race Ski

The Dynafit Mezzalama Race Ski is a race ski for long Grand Course events and race-pace training, built for skiers who want race weight with a more forgiving descent than a pure World Cup ski. Dynafit gives it a slightly wider tip, a longer front rocker and a radius of 20 to 20.5 m, so it turns more easily on tired legs and handles variable snow, while carbon reinforcement and a sidewall construction with cap tip and tail keep it stiff. At 760 g per ski in the 153 cm length and 790 g in the 162, the Mezzalama suits the Pierra Menta, the PDG and long days of fast touring.

Why We Like It

  • A slightly wider tip and longer front rocker make the Mezzalama easier to turn in variable snow on tired legs.
  • A 20 to 20.5 m radius turns more readily than a straighter World Cup ski.
  • Sidewall construction underfoot with cap tip and tail balances power transfer and weight.
  • Dynafit tunes the sidecut and rocker by length so both sizes ski alike.

Best Uses

  • Grand Course races
  • Race-pace training
  • Fast touring and long traverses
  • Spring ski mountaineering
  • Racers who want a forgiving race ski
