DPS Pagoda Tour C2 Alpine Touring Ski

While this ski is optimized for backcountry touring due to its lightweight construction, it performs well at the resort on soft snow days. However, because it is built to be ultralight, it may feel less stable than a dedicated resort ski when you are charging hard on firm, icy groomers.

The 112mm waist provides excellent float in deep powder, but the rocker-camber-rocker profile also helps it stay nimble in tighter, variable terrain. It is designed to pivot quickly, making it easier to navigate through trees or chopped-up snow compared to narrower, stiffer skis.

This ski is ideal for intermediate to expert backcountry skiers who prioritize weight efficiency for long ascents without sacrificing downhill performance. It is a great choice if you want a playful, surfy feel in soft snow but still need enough stiffness to handle high-speed turns.

Not at all. While the full carbon laminate keeps the weight down, the specific construction—blending ash and paulownia—is engineered to provide a smooth, dampened ride. It balances that lightweight feel with enough stability to prevent the chatter often associated with lighter touring skis.

The ski features a textured polyamide top sheet specifically designed to resist chipping. It is much more durable than standard glossy finishes, which helps the ski maintain its appearance even after heavy use in the backcountry.
