DPS Pagoda Tour

This ski is purpose-built for backcountry touring. Its ultralight Paulownia wood core and carbon-flax construction are engineered to minimize fatigue on the ascent while maintaining the stability needed for variable backcountry descents.

The 112mm waist is optimized for deep powder and soft snow, providing excellent float and surf-like maneuverability. While it handles fresh snow beautifully, it may feel less responsive on hard-packed resort groomers compared to narrower, dedicated carving skis.

The combination of carbon and flax provides a unique ride quality. The carbon offers high torsional rigidity for precise control, while the flax fibers act as a natural dampener to absorb vibrations, resulting in a smoother, less chattery feel on firm snow.

Yes, the textured surface is designed to shed snow effectively. This helps keep the skis lighter during long ascents, preventing the buildup of heavy snow that can otherwise add significant weight to your setup.

A 15-meter turn radius is relatively tight for a powder-focused ski, making it exceptionally nimble in tight trees or technical terrain. It allows for quick, precise turns without requiring excessive speed or effort to initiate.
