The DPS Pagoda Tour 94 Touring Ski is a light, precise 94 mm touring ski at 1,495 g per ski (178 cm) with a paulownia core and carbon and flax laminates.
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.

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.
