Located in the Chamonix valley since 1963, Dynastar makes its know-how and expertise available to riders all over the planet. Over the past 40 years, what started out as a small manufacturing company has progressed from a production of less than 10,000 pairs of skis to over 500,000 pairs in 2003, rapidly ensuring its reputation as a leader. The story is unusual: Dynastar started out by distributing skis, namely the Starflex skis manufactured by Les Plastiques Synthétiques, and was created after a collaborative effort between Les Plastiques Synthétiques and Dynamic to design a new type of high-performance and technically innovative ski, the Compound. After this experience, a foretaste of its vocation for innovation, Dynastar then took off as a manufacturer on its own, with a name created through the contraction of the Dynamic and Starflex names. Its growth, legitimacy and longevity among the world's leading ski manufacturers are due to its pursuit of a clear objective: to explore new avenues and constantly innovate, to offer each skier the performance and sensations they dream of.
