2027 Dynastar Menace 80 Junior Skis with Rossignol Evo 70 HV+ Boots and Poles

Park laps and everything in between are the name of the game for the Dynastar Menace 80, a junior freestyle ski with real all-mountain range. The twin-tip shape skis backward as happily as forward, opening the door to switch landings, butters, and side hits, while a light, forgiving build means an imperfect landing doesn't end the run. Young freestylers get a ski that treats the whole resort as a feature. [boot PKG overview]

Who it's for:

Young freestyle skiers who spend most of their time in the park but ski the rest of the mountain too. It fits progressing juniors working on switch riding, butters and side hits.

Things to consider:

Because the tuning favors the park, edge hold on firm groomers falls short of what an on-piste junior ski delivers. Its narrower waist also limits float, so deep days would be better served by the wider Menace.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Freestyle skis are best kept short enough to rotate underfoot, which for most juniors means sizing at or slightly below their height. Only go longer if the skier has started skiing fast enough that stability on landings matters more than spin speed.
