DPS Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 100 Ski
Since its inception in 2005, DPS has gained a loyal following for its ski shapes that can only be described as "intuitive." Building on the Pagoda Tour 100, the Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 100, despite being quite a fingerful to type, brings some welcome improvements to an already beloved platform. Utilizing a Carbon and Flax laminate, DPS shaved a significant amount of weight relative to its predecessor, much to the delight of weary legs on a big day. For those accustomed to the Ferrari-like performance of this original Pagoda Tour 100, fear not! This same Omega 3 containing laminate that lightens the ski also preserves the ridiculously damp feel, allowing you to attack descents full of variable snow. The tighter 15-meter radius combined with a 40% rocker keeps the same, intuitive feel that folks have come to know and appreciate while the use of (more) eco-conscious materials helps lessen the ski's carbon footprint. With its versatile waist width and premium construction the Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 100 is an excellent one-ski-quiver for those who value versatility and playfulness in an intuitive design.
- Carbon-flax laminate shaves weight from its predecessor while maintaining its premium performance.
