DPS Pagoda Tour 90 RP Skis 2023

Product Details

Rocker Type

Rocker / Camber / Rocker (RP Profile)– 45% Tip and Tail Rocker / 55% Effective Edge

Shape

RP Shape– RP is a unique style of shaping pioneered by DPS. With a 15m radius, close to that of a slalom ski, they quickly roll from edge-to-edge to make tight turns when needed. The coupling of a tight radius with rocker at tip and tail results in a very intuitive shape that enhances nimbleness, while providing the float needed to plane atop fresh powder and chop.

Core

Pagoda Tour Core– A complex amalgam of Ash, Aerospace grade foam, and Third Rail Algal Tech PU down the middle, all overlayed with a Paulownia wood laminate.

Specs

• Terrain: All-Mountain, Alpine Touring More

  Terrain

  
  
  All-MountainAll-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.
  
  
  
• Skis: No Bindings
• Ability Level: Intermediate-Advanced More

  Ability Level

  
  
  Intermediate-AdvancedWhether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.
  
  
  
• Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker More

  Rocker Type

  
  
  Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.
  
  
  
• Turning Radius: Medium More

  Turning Radius

  
  
  Medium17-22 m radius is best for all-mountain and park & pipe.
  
  
  
• Core/Laminates: Carbon, Foam, Wood
• Tail Type: Partial Twin Tip More

  Tail Type

  
  
  Partial Twin TipPartial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
