The Dynastar Exclusive Legend Paradise is one of our favorite women's skis this season. With a little bias towards soft snow and off-trail skiing, it's a fantastic all mountain ski or even as a first powder ski, depending on the person.
The shape is becoming more common these days - a rockered tip, camber underfoot and a little rise in the tail. And it comes in at 98 mm underfoot -...” --Start Haus

The more I ski these the more impressed I am with these!
I demo'ed the 2 weekends ago during some awesomely epic powder at Northstar. I demo'ed the men's 165cm TST because the woman's demo was too short and I consulted with Armada who told me the only difference between the men's and women's version of these skis is the graphic.
The tip is rockered, but the...” --shima

Review (inc pro's & con's):
This was the second year in a row that I demo'd the Elysian during the trade shows and it was the second year in a row that it made me grin from ear to ear.
With its adaptive rocker, this ski made it easy to initiate turns on the groomers, and get up on the moguls. At 95mm under foot, it wasn’t the ideal groomer ski but...” --Trekchick

Initial impressions:
Upon first sight, I really like what Salomon is doing with the graphics of this ski and am impressed with the direction they're going with this entire line up.
On the snow:
I wasn't sure what to expect with this ski but with dimensions and flex like this ski has I was sure that it would do well in the softer snow. Not only did the Lumen power through...” --Trekchick
