Dynastar Launches Eco Friendly Core 2.0 Tech'

In recent years, the Dynastar family has seen its environment shaken by climate change.

The mountains that inspire our passions and occupy our leisure time are suffering directly from global warming. And it is not just our own playground but the entire natural ecosystem that is threatened. It is our duty to find solutions and reduce our industry’s impact on the environment.

They have therefore worked on doing what they know best: making skis that have less of an impact.

"The mountains that inspire our passions and occupy our leisure time are suffering directly from global warming. And it is not just our own playground but the entire natural ecosystem that is threatened. In our view, there is no future for skiing unless it is conceived of in a more responsible way. It is our duty to find solutions to reduce our industry’s impact on the environment. With Hybrid Core 2.0, a door is opening onto the world of eco-design, which will be at the heart of all our future product plans. We still have a long way to go and there are many hurdles to overcome. Our teams will not give up and we will continue working to make our activity more sustainable!" said Laurent RICHARD, Brand Manager Dynastar

Four years ago, they launched Hybrid Core technology, blending the performance of wood with the lightness and smooth snow feel of PU. This construction now provides unique skiability, which has become a Dynastar promise. At the launch of the Hybrid Core, there was talk of future development with a dual objective

• design skis with a reduced environmental impact
• Continuing to improve skiability

In other words, the incoming materials have the most significant impact, so the challenge was to find an industrial solution to reduce the proportion of certain components without compromising the performance and skiability of Dynastar skis.

Hybrid Core 2.0 is a door opening onto the world of eco-design. They still have a long way to go and there are many hurdles to be overcome. But their  teams will not give up and we willcontinue working to make our activity more sustainable! 

This involves mechanising the layers of wood in not just two but in three directions to replace the mechanical contribution of certain components such as glued fibreglass. This enables them to reduce the presence of these environmentally impacting components by approximately 25%.
