Dynastar’s Cham 117 earned “Excellent” to even one “Favorite” classification from our powder ski testers. This is a very versatile ski that can charge big lines, arc tight chutes, float wind-buffed conditions, and still give you plenty of stable hard snow performance on your way back to the chair. Definitely the most versatile and capable ski in Dynastar’s Cham line.

The 117 did not own any single category, but DID score high marks across the board. If you want ease of initiation and all-conditions performance, this ski’s moderate rocker, pintail schmearability, and super responsive sidecut give it a strong “buy” call.
