Light, quick, and incredibly agile, the DPS Pagoda Piste 90 RP Skis are an awesome choice for front-side rippers and all-mountain shredders who love to keep their skis on edge. If you love quick turns, topping out at a 15-meter radius, the Pagoda Piste 90 is right up your alley. The RP shaping complements these skis very well, not only in a carving format, but also with all-mountain versatility. With more dramatic rocker and taper to generate that shorter radius, the skis all behave the same, regardless of size. With a wood core that’s made out of ash and aspen, the skis also have dual-layers of carbon to keep the ski stiff and responsive without being too heavy. The ash is mostly found in the underfoot regions, and this denser product helps keep the edge strong and the ski torsionally stiff. Thanks to the aspen in the forebody and through the tail, the ski is easy to engage and has a smooth and precise feel throughout the carve. The dual-carbon layup is really where these skis separate themselves from other 90’s in the world. While they’re not trying to compete with the dual metal laminate skis of the world, they’re still getting a fair amount of strength to get them on par in terms of overall performance. It’s a different feel, but not everyone likes that metallic feeling in skis, the carbon has a different personality for sure.
