New for 2026, the DPS Wailer 107 is the mid-fat, hybrid poplar/carbon evolution of one of DPS’s most iconic shapes. Blending a 15-meter turn radius with a powder-friendly width and classic rockered profile, this ski is tuned for versatility, confidence, and flow—on piste, in powder, or anywhere in between.

Why we like it:

The Wailer 107 has that rare mix of stability and surf, letting you charge or chill depending on the day. It’s light, energetic, and surprisingly grippy for a ski in this class.

Who it's for:

Great for advanced to expert skiers looking for one ski that can handle deep days, chopped-up crud, and firm snow alike. Perfect for directional skiers who prioritize edge hold and control without giving up maneuverability.

Highlights:

The 107mm waist hits a sweet spot for all-mountain powder performance—it floats well in soft snow, but doesn’t feel out of place when the storm settles and you're linking groomer turns or picking through trees. The hybrid poplar/carbon construction keeps things light underfoot without losing the stout, stable feel that DPS is known for. With generous tip and tail rocker and a tight 15-meter radius, the Wailer 107 can arc carves on the frontside or pivot like a tree ski, depending on how and where you drive it.

Things to consider:

This ski is designed for directional, smooth turns and speed-friendly confidence. Skiers who prioritize a loose, playful tail or more jibby feel in the park or switch may want to explore more freestyle-oriented options like the Koala series from DPS.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. Go longer for stability in bigger terrain or faster skiing, or size down for tight trees and quicker edge-to-edge feel.
