There's no titanal here — DPS went pure carbon on purpose, and the payoff is a ski that's notably light for a carver but torsionally stiff enough to hold an edge at real speed. The 79mm waist and short 13m radius make it most at home in short-to-medium arcs on firm snow, though it'll happily open up to a longer turn when you want one. There's a touch of early rise in the tip to ease the entry into a turn, but the effective edge is long and the camber underfoot is genuine — this ski wants to be on a rail, not skidding the tails around. The carbon layup damps chatter without the heft of metal, and the flex has a liveliness to it that gives clear feedback: get your weight forward and onto your outside ski and it rewards you immediately. That feedback is a big part of why so many people end up skiing better on it than they expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a carving-first ski for the skier who shows up on a groomer day and actually wants to carve, not just point it and skid. It does ask you to stay engaged — drive the edges and commit, and it locks in and pulls you through the turn. Within carving, it's also one of the more approachable options out there: DPS and Ligety built it to flatter a developing carver rather than punish one, so an honest intermediate who's working on edge-to-edge turns can grow into it rather than get bucked off it. What it is not is a do-everything ski. Take it into bumps, off-piste, or a powder day and you'll fight it the whole way — at 79mm with a firm-snow design, it simply isn't built for that. If you want the same Pisteworks carbon feel but more room to roam when conditions get chopped up, the wider Pisteworks 89 (89mm waist, 16m radius) opens the turn shape up and gives you a more stable platform off the groomed line — that's the move if your days drift off hardpack, not because the 79 is too much ski to learn on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e79mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTurn Radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,650g per ski (174cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProprietary wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull carbon (2-layer multidirectional), Carbon Power Plate (recycled carbon)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarving-oriented — compliant flex for precision turns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4000-series World Cup sintered + Phantom Glide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrontside carving — short-radius precision on groomed terrain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Lengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRadius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTip \/ Waist \/ Tail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e126 \/ 79 \/ 109mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e167cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 79 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e174cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 79 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e181cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 79 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"DPS","offers":[{"title":"160 \/ None","offer_id":50538438983975,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"167 \/ None","offer_id":50538439016743,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"174 \/ None","offer_id":50538439049511,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"181 \/ None","offer_id":50538439082279,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/Supporting_Image_1_-_Pisteworks_79_1000x_ad80ac78-fdd7-404e-ad20-4ea05cb80bdd.webp?v=1760308772"},{"product_id":"dps-kaizen-100","title":"DPS Kaizen 100","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DPS Kaizen 100 is a full-carbon all-mountain freeride ski built around a split poplar\/ash wood core wrapped in two sheets of aerospace-grade carbon fiber. That core pairing is doing real work: poplar keeps weight down while ash adds density and damping, and the carbon wraps the whole sandwich in torsional stiffness without adding grams. The result on snow is a ski that feels lively and snappy rather than spongy — it responds to where you put pressure and releases cleanly when you want to redirect. The shape runs 45% rocker in the tip and tail with a traditional camber platform underfoot, which means you get genuine float when the snow is soft and real edge engagement on groomers, not just a ski that survives hardpack. At 100mm underfoot with a 15-meter radius, it draws a medium arc — tight enough for trees and bumps, long enough to hold a real carve in a wide-open bowl. This is a flat ski; pair it with your own binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kaizen 100 is at its best under an advanced to expert skier who moves around the whole mountain and wants one ski that handles ungroomed, mixed, and variable snow without feeling like a compromise. It rewards active, technical skiing — if you're initiating turns and staying forward, it feels precise and responsive; a capable intermediate who skis from the front of the boot can grow into it, but a passive or backseat skier will fight it. Where it shows its limits is at very high speeds on firm groomed terrain: with no metal in the layup there's some tip chatter on truly frozen hardpack, and the surfy rocker geometry skis shorter than the actual length. If you spend most of your time hunting hardpack stability and want a more planted, directional platform at speed, look at the Kaizen 105 — same family, but a directional shape with less rocker and a longer radius that holds an edge better when you push it. Going the other way, the Kaizen 112 is the move if you're skiing a higher percentage of powder days and want more float, and the Wailer 100 is the easier, more forgiving call if you want this kind of shape in a softer, more compliant build that asks less of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTurn Radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,805g per ski (179cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSplit wood — Poplar upper \/ Ash lower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull carbon fiber, full sidewall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRocker \/ Camber \/ Rocker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4000-series World Cup sintered + Phantom Glide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-mountain charger — float, quickness, surfy feel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Lengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRadius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTip \/ Waist \/ Tail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e153cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 100 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e163cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 100 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e171cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 100 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e179cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e132 \/ 100 \/ 117mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e184cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 100 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e189cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 100 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"DPS","offers":[{"title":"153","offer_id":50567841743143,"sku":null,"price":1356.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"163","offer_id":50567841775911,"sku":null,"price":1356.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"171","offer_id":50567841808679,"sku":null,"price":1356.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"179","offer_id":50567857766695,"sku":null,"price":1356.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"184","offer_id":50567857799463,"sku":null,"price":1356.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"189","offer_id":50567857832231,"sku":null,"price":1356.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/2_ec892e15-aad1-43dd-8e49-2f4e90c3dd1c.jpg?v=1760889764"},{"product_id":"dps-kaizen-112","title":"DPS Kaizen 112","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DPS Kaizen 112 is a full-carbon powder ski built around DPS's Split Core — a poplar upper layer bonded horizontally to a denser ash lower layer, wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon laminates on both faces. No titanal, no metal: the damping comes from the split core's bi-density bond, and the carbon provides the stiffness and snap. With 112 mm underfoot, roughly 45% rocker in the tip and tail, and only 55% effective edge, it planes early and pivots easily — a ski that drifts and slashes more than it carves. The 15 m turn radius at 178 cm keeps things maneuverable, and the lowered tail rocker gives enough edge contact to make groomed laps between storm cycles functional.

Intermediates should stay away entirely.

The 15m radius pulls you into medium arcs on hardpack without demanding race technique, and the tip and tail rocker lets you smear, drift, and steer through chopped-up snow, bump lines, or a few inches of fresh without muscling the tails around.

At 90mm underfoot it is genuinely narrow by today's standards, which is the point: less ski to swing, faster response, a direct connection between your input and what the ski does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a ski for advanced-intermediate through expert skiers who spend most of their days on groomed or lightly tracked terrain and want a quick, easy-going narrow ski for resort laps. The RP shape is forgiving enough to reward a progressing skier rather than punish one, so don't talk yourself out of it just because you're not an expert — if you're comfortable on blues and steering a ski at speed, it fits. Where it isn't the right tool is deep days: anyone who spends significant time in powder or heavy western snow will want more float, so step up to the wider Wailer 100 or 107 for that. And true beginners should start on something softer and more stable first. But if you ski mostly frontside, like a precise feel, and don't chase storm days, the Wailer 90 earns its place. Sold as a flat ski, so pair it with the binding of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTurn Radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,800g per ski (179cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProprietary wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull carbon, aerospace-grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRocker \/ Camber \/ Rocker — 40% rocker \/ 60% effective edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4000-series World Cup sintered + Phantom Glide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-mountain ripper — frontside grip with off-piste versatility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Lengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRadius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTip \/ Waist \/ Tail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e157cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119 \/ 90 \/ 106mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 90 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e171cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 90 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e179cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 90 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e184cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 90 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"DPS","offers":[{"title":"165","offer_id":50576557867303,"sku":null,"price":1036.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/1_bd832d74-201a-44f4-98ab-45922a698524.jpg?v=1761137468"},{"product_id":"dps-wailer-100","title":"DPS Wailer 100","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DPS Wailer 100 is DPS's original all-mountain benchmark — a 100mm-waisted ski built around carbon fiber, fiberglass, and a poplar wood core with zero titanal in the layup. That construction choice is intentional: the Wailer 100 is lighter and livelier than a metal ski, with a snappy, forgiving feel rather than the damp planted weight you get from titanal. The 40\/60 rocker-to-camber ratio means the tips plane up willingly in soft snow and the midsection stays locked into an edge when you need it. At a 15-meter turn radius it's a genuinely versatile shape — short enough to thread trees and slash variable snow, long enough on edge to arc a real carve on a groomed pitch. The carbon and fiberglass wrap gives it energy when you flex the tip, not from any metal reinforcement but from the layup geometry itself. This is a flat ski; pair it with your own binding choice and mount point to suit your style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ski is built for advanced skiers who want a single quiver that handles most of the mountain without carrying the bulk of a true powder board. Lighter-weight skiers in particular will get more out of the Wailer 100 than heavier riders — at speed in firm variable conditions, big skiers may find themselves wanting more mass underfoot than a no-metal carbon ski can deliver. If you weigh 200-plus pounds and ski hard on-piste or in tracked-out crud, the Wailer 100 will start to feel slightly under-damped at the limits; you'd be better served by a ski with some metal in the layup. Within DPS's own lineup, go narrower to the \u003cstrong\u003eWailer 90\u003c\/strong\u003e if frontside quickness and groomer edge angle are your priority, or step up to the \u003cstrong\u003eWailer 107\u003c\/strong\u003e if you're buying a ski specifically for storm days and deep snow.

The construction is a poplar\/hardwood core wrapped in triaxial fiberglass with unidirectional carbon stringers running tip to tail, and the 2026 version adds carbon stringers on both the top and bottom sheets (up from a single layer in previous years). That combination keeps the ski light and snappy rather than damp and planted. The rocker\/camber\/rocker profile splits roughly 40% rocker at tip and tail with 60% camber underfoot, so it initiates turns quickly, stays lively in soft snow, and holds an edge on a groomer without feeling sluggish — but don't expect it to carve a clean arc on hard or icy snow the way a metal ski does. At 103mm underfoot with an 18-meter radius (at 184cm), it's wide enough to float a soft-snow day and narrow enough to thread bumps and trees with intention. The shape is a true twin at the tip with a tail that's nearly a twin, and DPS sets the mount around 6cm back from true center — forward enough that you can still drive the shovels and ski it with intent, but centered enough to stay balanced in the air and ride away switch. This is a flat ski — pair it with your own binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Koala 103 is for the advanced skier who lives for variety: soft snow, side hits, tight trees, a pillow line, a park lap, all in the same run. If you like a playful, freestyle-leaning feel and you're comfortable moving around on the ski, it'll feel responsive and versatile across most mountain conditions. Who should look elsewhere: if firm groomers, spring corn, or hardpack East Coast days make up a significant part of your season, the no-metal layup will leave you wanting more grip and damping than this ski can provide — it washes out on ice and gets chattery when the snow firms up. Likewise, if you're an intermediate still building edge awareness, the twin shape and lively flex will feel demanding rather than supportive.

The rocker\/camber\/rocker profile runs roughly 40% rocker in the tip and tail with about 60% effective edge through the camber zone underfoot — that mix is what gives you real float and easy, quick pivoting in soft snow while still leaving enough edge engaged to drive through variable crud or stomp a pillow and hold your line. The sidecut is 139-111-127mm at 184cm, with a stated 18m turn radius across all lengths, so this ski wants to make longer, surfier turns in open terrain more than tight, short-radius work. The pop and rebound you feel come from that carbon-and-camber combination, not from a metal plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a ski for advanced to expert skiers building a quiver, slotting the Koala 111 in specifically for deep, soft days — pillow lines, open powder faces, and big-mountain freestyle where width and float matter more than all-condition versatility. Like any ski this wide, it's happiest in soft snow: on scraped-off, firm, high-traffic groomers it skids more than it grips, and it's at its best on firm snow only when the surface has softened. If powder days are rare where you ski, or if this is going to be your only pair, it's the wrong call. Look at the Koala 103 instead — 8mm narrower, much more at home on mixed and firmed-up snow, and a genuinely more useful everyday ski while keeping the Koala family's playful character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e111mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTurn Radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~2,200g per ski (189cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProprietary wood with carbon upgrade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHybrid carbon + fiberglass, polyurethane sidewalls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRocker \/ Camber \/ Rocker — twin-tip, 40% rocker \/ 60% edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder twin-tip — playful deep snow with switch capability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Lengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRadius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e176cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e184cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e189cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"DPS","offers":[{"title":"176","offer_id":50668808405287,"sku":null,"price":956.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"184","offer_id":50668808438055,"sku":null,"price":956.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"189","offer_id":50668808470823,"sku":null,"price":956.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/2_476e8d46-b2cf-421f-9c8b-2bbeb0a966c1.jpg?v=1762650845"},{"product_id":"dps-pisteworks-94","title":"DPS Pisteworks 94","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pisteworks 94 is DPS's widest carving ski — a flat ski, so pair it with your own binding — built around a wood core fully wrapped in aerospace carbon, with a reinforced Carbon Power Plate in the binding zone for direct energy transfer underfoot. There is no titanal or metal laminate anywhere in the layup; instead DPS engineered damping and stiffness through the carbon architecture itself. The result is a ski that weighs noticeably less than a traditional metal frontside carver while still generating real traction on hard snow. The 27% tip rocker bleeds into 73% camber through the body, which means the ski steers into turns with low resistance but holds an edge with conviction once you commit. The radius runs progressive — roughly 18 to 20 meters depending on the length you pick (DPS calls it an 18m ski; the 178cm we measured comes in nearer 19m) — so it draws medium-long arcs, not short-turn chip-shots and not a full GS sled. The carbon rebound through that camber makes each turn feel lively rather than damp. On groomers it is precise and a touch electric; in tracked-out snow the softer shovel forgives entry without washing the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ski suits strong advanced to expert skiers who spend the majority of their days on groomed and near-groomed terrain and want a premium, lightweight alternative to a metal all-mountain carver. The 94mm waist gives enough platform to handle variable conditions and occasional off-piste forays without becoming a chore on hardpack. That said, if your days skew heavily toward firm bulletproof groomers where you want maximum edge lock and damp chatter suppression, a titanal-laced ski will outperform the Pisteworks 94 in those specific conditions — the carbon build trades some brute-force stability for liveliness and weight savings. And if you spend significant time in the bumps or looser snow and want something more playful and easier to bend, look at the Pisteworks 89: it is narrower, rides a tighter 16m radius, and is the more slashable, slarve-happy ski of the line. If you want to go the other direction — more float, more off-piste range — step into DPS's Wailer line instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWaist Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e94mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTurn Radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,660g per ski (178cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoplar \/ Red Oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull carbon fiber + Carbon Power Plate underfoot, full sidewall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip rocker, camber underfoot (8.5mm), minimal tail rocker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4000-series World Cup sintered + Phantom Glide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-speed carving with all-mountain reach — Ted Ligety collaboration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Lengths\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRadius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTip \/ Waist \/ Tail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e165cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 94 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e171cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 94 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e178cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 \/ 94 \/ 111mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e184cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 94 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e189cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e— \/ 94 \/ —\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"DPS","offers":[{"title":"165 \/ None","offer_id":51007029379367,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"171 \/ None","offer_id":51007029477671,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"178 \/ None","offer_id":51007029575975,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/SupportingImage1-Pisteworks94.jpg?v=1762651152"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/collections\/RM-1.13.25-DPS-106.webp?v=1778366615","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/collections\/dps.oembed","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
