Dynafit Blacklight 88 FL 70 Skis

The Dynafit Blacklight 88 FL 70 is your uphill ally with serious downhill chops: built for skinners who want feather-light efficiency without giving up too much when the descent kicks hard. It trims weight over the FI 90 version, making every step feel easier, yet it still delivers solid edge grip and precision when you’re charging firm snow or carving turns.

With an average width of 88 mm underfoot, this ski scales through the size range (151-184 cm), and in its shorter lengths it drops below 1,000 g, making it noticeably nimbler on steep skintracks or long bootpacks. Its core of paulownia plus carbon layup gives a snappy, responsive flex—enough stiffness to stay composed, but not so rigid you feel every ripple. Full sidewalls (ABS) maintain bite on icy or hard surfaces, while tip rocker helps ease turn initiation and deal with variable snow crust.

On snow the Blacklight 88 FI 70 rides firm-biased but not harsh: expect crisp edge engages, a playful tail when called on, and enough damping to reduce chatter—especially in shorter, more controlled turns. It’s not a float queen for deep powder, but in crust, punchy spring snow, or mixed alpine terrain it shines.

This is for advanced to expert backcountry skiers who prioritize uphill efficiency—touring velocity, endurance, light gear—but still want confidence on challenging descents: steep skin tracks, firm snow, mixed snow surfaces. If you want one ski that leans into speed and performance rather than surf or float, this could be your go-to.

Tech highlights: paulownia + carbon core, 88 mm waist, tip rocker + tailored tail rocker, full ABS sidewalls, size-specific shape. Less weight uphill than the FI 90 model, while keeping much of the downhill performance intact.
