Dynafit Tigard 97

Dynafit Tigard 97 Alpine Touring Ski

A true do-it-all alpine touring ski built for skiers who want one dependable setup that performs confidently on groomed runs, floats in powder, and holds up on challenging backcountry descents without forcing a compromise for any single condition. The Tigard 97's balanced 97mm waist, Carbon Speed Stringer, and Hybrid Core deliver predictable, versatile performance from the resort to the backcountry and everywhere in between.

Why We Carry It
It's the ski we put under our AT demo rental package and recommend for skiers who want one reliable setup for mixed resort and backcountry use without managing a quiver of condition-specific skis.

Highlights

• 97mm waist width — A versatile waist that balances float in soft snow, edge control on firm conditions, and stability on variable terrain without being too wide for efficient touring or too narrow for confident powder skiing. The sweet spot for a genuine do-it-all alpine touring ski.
• Carbon Speed Stringer — A carbon fiber reinforcement that adds torsional stiffness, snap, and energy transmission for a more responsive, lively ski feel on groomed runs and firm backcountry snow without meaningful weight penalty.
• Hybrid Core construction — A multi-material core that balances the lively, responsive feel of a lighter construction with the dampening and stability needed for variable and challenging snow conditions on longer backcountry objectives.
• Full sidewall construction — Edge-to-edge sidewall contact for maximum power transfer, edge grip, and durability on firm snow and groomed runs where direct, precise edge engagement matters.
• Single radius sidecut — A consistent, predictable arc that delivers reliable, easy-to-read turn initiation across changing terrain. The sidecut choice that makes a ski forgiving and confidence-inspiring for skiers moving between conditions throughout a day.
• Tip and tail rocker — Early rise at both ends for easier turn initiation in variable and soft snow without sacrificing edge hold on firmer conditions. A rocker profile that adds versatility without making the ski feel loose on groomers.
• Lightweight construction from 1,090 grams at 158cm — A competitive weight for a full-sidewall alpine touring ski that scales efficiently with length for a ski that earns its place on the skin track without requiring a dedicated touring ski for uphill efficiency.
• Made in Europe with Dynafit Lifetime Guarantee — European manufacturing commitment backed by Dynafit's strongest warranty for a ski built to last.
