DPS Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 105 Ski
When describing the Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 105, DPS boldly states "It is the most well-rounded backcountry ski we've ever made." Considering the staggering amount of crowd-pleasers DPS has produced over the years, this is a pretty serious statement. Taking inspiration from their various ski shapes, DPS combined them to create a ski that won't flinch when you're looking to dial up the send-o-meter yet remains nimble and agile while navigating through tight and technical terrain. Compared to other more "traditional" DPS skis, the Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 105 allows for a more centered skiing style, helping with balanced hop turns down a steep face. Learning from prior iterations of the Pagoda Tour construction, DPS is now utilizing a Carbon and Flax laminate, which decreases torsional chatter while lowering the overall weight. This results in a platform that leads to a more enjoyable up while having fresher legs (and presumably more fun) for the down. Using the Super Sap Bio Resin in the layup of the ski and Checkerspot algal technology in the polyurethane sidewalls, these skis have a lessened carbon footprint compared to construction methods of years past. Being handbuilt right here in SLC with the highest quality materials, the Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 105 is an exceptionally versatile ski that will handle whatever conditions come their way.
- (More) environmentally friendly materials are used in the ski to help lessen its environmental footprint.
