DPS Pagoda Tour 105 Alpine Touring Ski

The DPS Pagoda Tour 105 Alpine Touring Ski is a freeride touring ski for skiers who want a stable, centered ski for steep, narrow lines and deep snow alike. DPS gives it a reduced rocker profile, a more centered stance and an 18 m radius, a shape drawn from its Kaizen 105, so it jump-turns cleanly in tight terrain and stays calm when you let it run. A paulownia wood core with carbon and flax laminates keeps the Pagoda Tour 105 at 1,550 g per ski in the 179, light enough for big days in the steeps and storm days in the trees.

Why We Like It

  • A more centered stance and 18 m radius make jump turns and quick pivots in tight, steep terrain feel natural.
  • Reduced rocker leaves more edge on the snow than DPS's more rockered shapes, so the Pagoda Tour 105 holds on firm, exposed descents.
  • Carbon and flax laminates over paulownia keep the weight at 1,550 g per ski in the 179 and damp the ride in crust and chop.
  • At 105 mm underfoot it floats deep snow without giving up control in couloirs.

Best Uses

  • Steep, narrow lines and couloirs
  • Powder and storm-day touring
  • Big mountain objectives
  • Variable and wind-affected snow
  • Skiers moving up from a 95 to 100 mm touring ski

Ski Selection Advice

The DPS Pagoda Tour 105 Alpine Touring Ski comes in 155, 163, 171, 179 and 184 cm. The centered stance and reduced rocker make it ski close to its measured length; size near your height, and down a length for consistently tight, steep terrain.

For skins, size off the 118 mm tail on the 179 and use a 120 mm skin trimmed to the ski. Pair it with a pin/tech touring binding; if you run brakes, choose one wider than the 105 mm waist.
