A Dynafit team consisting of Spain's Javier Martin, Italian Lorenzo Holzknecht and local kiwi Grant Guise set a new speed record for the "Symphony on Skis", a 46.7 km long, 4000m vertical, east-west crossing of New Zealand's Southern Alps this past Saturday.

This original trio did the trip from Rankin’s Hut in the Godley Valley to Chancellor Hut on the Fox Glaicer, via Armadillo, Tasman and Graham Saddles and West Hoe Pass in an amazing single push, taking 18.5hrs.
The Dynafit Team, equipped with all the latest and greatest offerings from Dynafit's SkiRunning range slashed over 5.5hrs off this time, taking only 12hrs 58mins to make the journey!
