WHAT TYPE(S) OF SKIER DO YOU IMAGINE WILL GET ALONG BEST WITH THIS SKI?
Anyone who wants a true 1 ski quiver all mountain destroyer.
ARE THERE SIMILAR PRODUCTS YOU’VE SKIED THAT YOU CLEARLY PREFER? IF SO, WHY?
Dynastar M Free 108 felt extremely similar. Choose the Dynastar if you prefer a slightly more directional ski that encourages a little more charge. Choose the the Sender Free if you prefer to slash and play a little more or ski a lot of switch (true twin tip).
PLEASE ELABORATE ON ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT THIS SKI. FEEL FREE TO GO INTO DETAIL!
I had an absolute blast on this ski and it was in the top two skis I demoed at the blister summit (the other being the Dynastar M Free 108). It would charge and get very serious when I wanted it too, decently carved on groomers and especially in chop, and could immediately loosen up and get playful when it was time to hop over moguls or off jumps. The sender free encouraged me to play with different speeds and tactics especially off piste and seemed to excel no matter what technique I skied with (driving/charging, playful, cautious/technical, centered/slarvy).
