DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski

The DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski is a narrow, precise touring ski for skiers who stack vertical, chase spring lines and want grip when the snow turns firm and steep. The 24/25 Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL build pairs a paulownia wood core with DPS's carbon and flax laminate, which keeps the weight down while taking the harsh edge off carbon, and a conservative rocker profile with a 19 m radius in the 178 keeps a long edge on the snow. At 1,495 g per ski in the 178 cm length, the Pagoda Tour 94 is built for big days, couloirs and corn, with enough tip rocker to handle a few inches of new snow.

Consider Another Ski If
Your days are mostly powder and trees; the DPS Pagoda Tour 100 turns tighter and floats more.

Why We Like It

  • Carbon and flax laminates above and below a paulownia core keep the Pagoda Tour 94 light and take the chattery feel out of an all-carbon layup on firm snow.
  • A conservative rocker profile leaves a long section of edge on the snow, which is what holds on chalk, ice and steep traverses.
  • A 94 mm waist and 19 m radius in the 178 make quick, controlled edge changes in couloirs and tight trees.
  • The full wrap sidewall uses Checkerspot algal material and the build uses a partly bio-based resin, part of DPS's move to lower-impact construction.

Best Uses

  • Big vertical days and long tours
  • Spring corn and firm, steep lines
  • Couloirs and ski mountaineering
  • Dawn patrol and fitness touring
  • Hut trips where weight matters

Ski Selection Advice

The DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski comes in 157, 165, 171, 178 and 185 cm, from 124-94-108 mm on the 157 to 133-94-111 mm on the 185. With a conservative rocker profile it skis close to its measured length; most skiers size near their height, and down a length for steep, tight terrain.

For skins, size off the tail, 110 mm on the 178, and use a 120 mm skin trimmed to the ski. A light pin/tech binding keeps the setup efficient; if you run brakes, choose one wider than the 94 mm waist.

Common Questions

Who should buy the DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski?
The DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski suits touring skiers who stack vertical and ski firm, steep lines and spring corn. A paulownia core with carbon and flax laminates, a conservative rocker profile and 1,495 g per ski in a 178 make it light, damp and precise.
What bindings work with the DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski?
The DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski takes pin/tech touring bindings or frame touring bindings; it carries no integrated binding or plate. Binding compatibility with your boot is set by the binding and the boot's sole norm, so match the binding to your boot first. If you run brakes, choose a brake wider than the 94 mm waist.
Is this the Pagoda Tour 94 C2?
No. This is the 24/25 Carbon Pagoda Tour CFL 94, which replaced the Pagoda Tour 94 C2. DPS moved from a foam, ash and paulownia core with an all-carbon laminate to a paulownia core with a carbon and flax laminate. The shape is similar, at 131-94-110 mm and 19 m in the 178.
How much does the DPS Pagoda Tour 94 weigh?
1,495 g per ski in the 178 cm length. Weight rises and falls with length.
What does the flax laminate do?
Flax fibers woven into the carbon laminate damp vibration. DPS added flax to take some of the sharp, chattery feel out of an all-carbon ski while keeping it light.
What skins fit the DPS Pagoda Tour 94?
Size the skin off the tail, 110 mm on the 178, and use a 120 mm skin trimmed to the ski.
