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.

Common Questions

Who should buy the DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine Touring Ski?
The DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine Touring Ski suits touring skiers who want a playful, easy-turning ski for powder, trees and mixed snow. A 15 m radius on every length, pronounced tip rocker and a paulownia core with carbon and flax laminates make it quick to turn, light to carry and damp in variable snow.
What bindings work with the DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine Touring Ski?
The DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine 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 100 mm waist.
Why does every length have a 15 m radius?
DPS sets the 15 m radius on every length and changes the taper and rocker by size to hold it. The result is a ski that turns the same way whether you ride a 163 or a 184; longer sizes add float and stability, not a longer turn.
Does the Pagoda Tour 100 ski short?
Yes. The pronounced tip rocker shortens the running length on snow, so the Pagoda Tour 100 feels shorter than its measured length. Many skiers size at or a step above their usual touring length.
What changed with the 24/25 Pagoda Tour 100?
The 24/25 Pagoda Tour 100 uses a paulownia wood core with carbon and flax laminates. DPS added flax to take some of the sharp feel out of an all-carbon layup and make the ski damper in variable snow.
What skins fit the DPS Pagoda Tour 100?
Size the skin off the tail, 117 mm on the 179, and use a 120 mm skin trimmed to the ski. The tip is rounded and the tail flat.

Our Verdict

The DPS Pagoda Tour 100 Alpine Touring Ski is the playful, easy-turning choice for a one-ski touring quiver. A 15 m radius on every length and pronounced tip rocker make it pivot and smear in powder and trees, while a paulownia core with carbon and flax laminates keeps it light and damp. Skiers who want more stability at speed on firm, open faces should look at the Blizzard Zero G 96; skiers who want a turny, smooth ski for mixed snow should start here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What foot shape works best?

Low- to medium-volume feet with a lower instep and secure heel.

Does it punch well?

Minor boot fitting is possible, but race boots are less forgiving to modify than heavier Grilamid touring boots.
