DPS Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 94 Ski
Taking over from the Pagoda Tour 94, the Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 94 from DPS retains a lot of the performance that defined its predecessor while making refinements to improve its sustainability, weight, and on-snow feel. Unlike Pagoda Tour constructions of years past, DPS is now using a Paulownia core with a Carbon and Flax laminate that provides all the dampness folks have come to expect, but with significant weight savings. This means you get to work less hard on the up while having the same amount of fun on the down, which seems like a fairly great improvement if you ask us. With an emphasis on sustainability, DPS has used Super Sap Bio Resin and Checkerspot Algal Walls in the full-wrap polyurethane sidewall to lessen the skis' carbon footprint while still retaining durability. Finally, the World Cup base material glides extremely well while doing a great job of resisting impact. With a versatile shape that excels in hard and soft snow, the Pagoda Tour CFL 94 is an excellent companion for any adventure off the beaten path.
- Caron and Flax laminate improves torsional dampness and saves weight compared to its predecessor.

- Paulownia core strikes a good balance between weight and durability.
- (More) eco-friendly materials are used to help lessen the skis' carbon footprint.
- Binding reinforcement keeps the bindings firmly attached to your ski, thank goodness!
- Full wrap polyurethane sidewall helps fend off rock strikes while allowing for confident grip in icy conditions.
- World Cup base material has excellent glide and while not impervious, fends off impact damage well.
