DPS Powderworks Tour C2

While the 110mm waist provides excellent float in deep snow, the Paulownia and Ash wood core combined with the carbon laminate gives it enough torsional stiffness to hold an edge on firmer, variable terrain. It is designed to be a versatile backcountry tool rather than a powder-only specialist.

Yes, the Algae-based sidewall is specifically engineered for impact resistance and dampening. When paired with the Third Rail Technology, it creates a robust structure that holds up well against the typical abuse of technical backcountry skiing.

The 22-meter radius is designed for stability at speed and long, sweeping turns, which is ideal for open backcountry bowls and steep, technical descents. It favors skiers who prefer a predictable, stable platform over a quick, snappy slalom-style turn.

The carbon laminate is balanced by the wood core and the specific dampening properties of the sidewall construction. This combination keeps the ski lightweight for the skin track while preventing the harsh, chattery feel often associated with pure carbon builds.

While they are optimized for backcountry efficiency, the Rockwell 48 steel edges and World Cup race base make them capable of handling resort days. However, their primary design intent is lightweight performance for human-powered touring.
