Description

The new DPS Pagoda Tour 112 RP skis are the strongest descending touring skis DPS has ever made—they're a surprisingly versatile option that can be your go-to powder skis and do-it-all touring option.

Features
  • RP (Resort Powder) shaping is intuitive and playful thanks to its relatively compact 15 m turn radius (which means the ski is quick edge-to-edge and reactive in tight spaces)
  • Fast and light on the skin track with an updated Tour layup, RP shaping provides an approachable, surf-inspired turning radius
  • Tapered tips help you stay on top of the snow
  • Long tip and tail rocker generate exceptional float in powder and add stability in variable snow
  • This shaping combination allows the skis to turn quickly and confidently in firm or mixed conditions and excel in soft snow
  • 112 mm waist is the ideal width for skis designed to excel in soft snow, while the unique RP shaping means they're comfortable on groomers and in moguls
  • 2 full layers of proprietary carbon laminate increase energy of the skis compared to traditional fiberglass or metal laminates
  • Carbon laminate also provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio and allows the skis to retain their flex infinitely, resulting in skis that will last multiple seasons
  • New Third Rail Technology utilizes a third sidewall of algae-based sidewall material down the center of the ski's core
  • Third sidewall creates exceptional damping properties and torsional rigidity that rivals the on-snow feel of alpine skis while maintaining the light weight of touring skis
  • Algal Sidewall Technology features 63% bio content sourced from a microalgae, in comparison to standard sidewalls which are plastics derived entirely from fossil fuels
  • Raised binding reinforcement plates give the skis excellent binding screw retention as well as added underfoot vibration damping
  • Textured polyamide tops are durable and reduce chipping, so they look better and last longer
  • Ash/aspen/paulownia wood cores mix 3 wood densities to provide damp but relatively lightweight skis
  • Aluminum-reinforced tails add durability and provide a tight grip for skin tail clips
  • Rockwell 48 steel edges are thick and durable, so they resist impact damage and hold a tune longer
  • Base material is the same high quality that's used on World Cup race skis; it's extremely long-lasting and remains faster longer
  • Gender-neutral engineering; each ski length is specifically designed to perform for the height/weight of each skier, regardless of their gender
  • Additive construction means less manufacturing waste; skis are shipped using compostable bags, keeping sustainability as a primary focus for DPS
  • Designed for 80% backcountry/20% resort skiing
