Tech Specs
DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine Touring Ski
The DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine Touring Ski is a playful all-mountain touring ski for skiers who want an easy, pivoting turn in powder and trees and a damp, composed ride when the snow gets variable. A 15 m radius on every length, with pronounced tip rocker and a tapered tip and tail, makes the Pagoda Tour 100 quick to turn and smear, while a paulownia wood core between carbon and flax laminates keeps the weight down and the ride smooth. A size run from 153 to 184 cm and a 132-100-117 mm shape in the 179 make it a do-it-all touring ski for the season, from storm days to spring corn.

Why We Like It
- DPS holds the radius at 15 m on every length and adjusts the taper and rocker to keep it there, so a 184 turns as readily as a 163.
- Flax in the laminate alongside carbon takes the sharp, pingy feel out of a light carbon ski, which is what makes the Pagoda Tour 100 feel damp in chop and crust.
- Pronounced tip rocker and a tapered tip lift the ski in powder and let it pivot and smear in trees.
- A full wrap sidewall adds durability and edge support to a light paulownia core.
Best Uses
- All-mountain ski touring
- Powder and tree skiing
- Variable and chopped-up snow
- Spring corn
- One-ski touring quivers
Ski Selection Advice
The DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine Touring Ski comes in 153, 163, 171, 179 and 184 cm. Because the radius stays at 15 m and the rocker shortens the running length, the Pagoda Tour 100 skis shorter than its measured length; many skiers size at or a step above their usual touring length.
For skins, size off the 117 mm tail on the 179 and use a 120 mm skin trimmed to the ski; the tip is rounded and the tail flat, so pick a tip loop and tail clip that suit that shape. A pin/tech touring binding keeps the setup light. If you run brakes, choose one wider than the 100 mm waist.
