Dynamic :
the French ski legend

Since 1931, the soul of DYNAMIC has been passion and performance.

Combining craftsmanship and innovation, the love of a job well done drove Paul Michal, Jean Berthet and their employees, making them the first true pioneers of technical development in skiing.

An ideal combination of advanced craftsmanship and technical daring, the DYNAMIC workshops will produce the most demanding skis of their generation, enabling seasoned enthusiasts to enjoy unprecedented sensations.

Located just a few kilometers from the slopes on which DYNAMIC would thrill the Olympic world in 1968, this modest workshop would produce the most innovative, high-performance skis ever made.

Technically unbeatable, VR skis are sure to be a hit with the most committed skiers, and will soon be making their mark in top-level competitions and events.

From the major technical innovations of modern skiing to the greatest competitions of the 20th century, rediscover the history of an extraordinary brand.
