DPS 2012/2013 Skis

This season there's a lot of excitement at the DPS headquarters in Salt Lake City, UT about the new Spoon and a few other new tweaks and features throughout the DPS lineup. Here's what the folks at DPS have to say about the 2012-13 collection.

"A leader in innovative design and shaping, DPS was founded as a design based/grassroots company to build the perfect ski. We see the ski, skier, and ski builder as an intimately connected triangle; and we keep that tight knit relationship through our direct sales channel and dealers. DPS customers are among the best skiers in the world, and are technically savvy folks with an obsession for trick skis. Our founder Stephan Drake has spent his life traveling the globe chasing powder in some of the most storied locations. His obsession from the start was to solve a pain point of providing the most advanced ski shaping coupled with the very best materials available.

"DPS designs the world’s most advanced skis. Located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, DPS introduced the world’s first and only Pure pre-preg carbon fiber sandwich ski, the first 120mm powder pintail, transferred the word “rocker” from surfing to skiing—then built the first rockered ski with sidecut—and will now unleash the Spoon. The fusion of space age carbon technology and groundbreaking shaping has resulted in the world’s most advanced quiver of skis. DPS Skis are sold on four continents and are a trusted brand of serious skiers worldwide.

"This season, DPS has continued to receive awards from several publications including Outside and Powder Magazine. Introduced last winter the Wailer 99 — “the Daily Driver redefined,” is proving its worth with several awards. Additionally, DPS continues to receive accolades for all models including the Wailer 112RP, Cassiar 80, and Lotus 138 — the most evolved and tested powder ski on earth and the first rockered ski with sidecut.

"For DPS, the 2012-2013 winter is the year of the Spoon. The Spoon has been DPS’ most elaborate shaping R+D project. It has taken four complex 3-D prototypes to dial in the shape and refine the final production version that will be available this fall. Furthermore, DPS will be releasing several exciting stories and products debuting at the winter trade shows."
