People, places, and the pursuit of the perfect turn have shaped the DPS brand since its inception. Our products embody this ethos, and for 2023, our Special Edition Carbon Pagoda Tour offerings pay homage to the key places that have influenced our brand over the past 18 years. From the stunning landscapes of North America, South America, Japan, and Europe to the remarkable individuals we've encountered along the way, these locations have played a vital role in building the DPS legacy.
Blue and purple skies from the deep shadows of the Alps and the Alpine Ibex represent our time spent in Europe.
Engelberg, Switzerland is home base for our European Special Edition ski featuring the Ibex. Many a day was spent (and maybe a few nights too) meeting skiers from all over the world at the Ski Lodge Engelberg for a day in the mountains. Our pro rider Piers Salomon calls Engelberg home when he’s not traveling the world in search of powder.
Shaping Pathway
Special Edition Carbon Pagoda Tour 100 Europe
Experience a level of both downhill and uphill performance that has never been available in skis of this weight category. This next generation of pure carbon fiber Pagoda Tour skis are damper and more stable on the downhill than any other ski we’ve ever made, all while maintaining the lightest performance-to-weight ratio.
The new Pagoda Tour 100 RP will quickly become our most nimble, versatile backcountry ski, offering unrivaled float for a 100mm waist width. The playful RP shaping characteristics lend predictable, intuitive turns in a lightweight ski that is equally at home on low-angle meadows and steep, committing couloirs. The Pagoda Tour 100 RP is perfect for backcountry skiers who get out and amongst the mountains no matter the conditions.
Featuring our updated Pagoda Tour construction and the new Third Rail technology, the playful yet predictable nature of the Pagoda Tour 100 offers plenty of suspension for slashing, drifting, and pressing that is unprecedented for skis in this waist width and weight category.
Do you actually wax your equipment as much as you should? Do you care about the environmental impact of your wax no matter what type you are using? Make the best decision for the performance of your gear and the environment. PHANTOM is an eco-friendly, one-time application, permanent waxless base treatment that eliminates the need for regular waxing of skis and snowboards and is inert to the environment. When used on a properly maintained base, PHANTOM’s patent-pending polymer technology offers ultimate convenience combined with great glide performance that never wanes across all snow temperatures, and for the life of a ski or snowboard’s use.

Following the highly acclaimed launch of our performance-focused tour construction technology in 2020, this year we are introducing the second generation of the Pagoda Tour Construction. While still maintaining the industry’s lightest performance-to-weight ratio, this new generation of touring skis are damper and more stable than previous iterations. Primarily due to our new Third Rail Technology, this new and improved platform is also more durable than its predecessor, due to improved integration between the hybrid wood/foam core and our new bio-based sidewall material. This new Algal Sidewall Technology features 63 percent bio content sourced from a microalgae. This bio-oil is derived and formulated for its damping characteristics, bend strength, impact resistance, machinability, and bonding -- resulting in a highly customizable, more environmentally friendly material that we use to create more stable and durable skis. Utilizing our new Third Rail technology and better sidewall integration, Gen 2 Pagoda Tour skis are damper and more stable, more durable, and a step forward on our journey toward better sustainability.
