DPS Skis

DPS, a relative newcomer to the ski industry, has quickly made a name for itself under the guidance of veteran ski engineer Peter Turner and ski designer Stephan Drake. In less than two decades, DPS has established a reputation for producing coveted backcountry and powder ski designs that are as much a work of art as they are high-performance equipment.

What sets DPS apart is their meticulous attention to detail in crafting their skis. They meticulously piece together top-shelf materials to create unique constructions across their entire lineup. Skiers are willing to invest in these well-crafted, refined pairs, and one standout model is the Pagoda Tour RP, priced at $1,299. This ski is a dream come true in blower powder, offering an exhilarating experience. Moreover, it maintains its predictability and sturdiness even in variable and crusty conditions.

DPS offers the innovative DPS Phantom 2.0 pretreatment, which bonds to the ski's base, providing the glide of an always-fresh wax. This eliminates the need for hot iron applications, making maintenance easier for skiers. Additionally, the brand is recognized for pioneering the first-ever rockered ski with a sidecut, revolutionizing skiing performance.
