By taking an existing and well-loved shape and shaving the weight out of it, DPS has come up with something great in their Pagoda Tour 100 RP. By replacing some of the ash wood in the core with aerospace foam stringers, and introducing their lightweight algal material to the mix, we’re seeing a lighter, more tour-friendly ski from a construction perspective, while keeeping the same overall personality and behavior out of the ski. At just under 1500 grams per ski in the 179, the Pagoda Tour 100 RP is an awesome choice for DPS fans who love the 15-meter shaping and high-quality construction. If you spend most of your time in the backcountry seeking out fresh lines and deep snow, the Pagoda Tour 100 RP is the ski for you.
