It’s now okay to indulge. Many folks have been waiting for DPS to make a touring line to complement their awesome resort skis. Thank you DPS for obliging.
Slightly softer than the Pure3 line, the Wailer 99 Tour1s maintain a high degree of torsional stiffness and still ski like a dream. And now you don’t have to ride lifts or pay the price on the uphill. These are lightweight pow-shredders that do not disappoint on hard snow. With a nicely rockered tip, they soak up soft and variable conditions with aplomb.
Using balsa cores and a proprietary carbon laminates, the Tour1 skis perform incredibly well despite the amazing weight. The Wailer99 is a “Daily Driver” shape, which has great float, carve, and forgiveness. If you have no idea what conditions to expect, skiing these is a safe bet. If you do know what conditions to expect, skiing these is a safe bet. We expect a whole new class of DPS devotees.
- 3D PaddleTech Geometry is a blend of rocker and variable sidecut that’s easy to ski.
- Slight camber with 18m underfoot radius allows for arcing carves on ice or corn.
- Gradually rockered and tapered tip makes turning in soft or variable snow simple.
- Slightly rockered tail prevents hooking and allows for skidding or smearing.
- Prepreg carbon & fiberglass laminates add stiffness throughout the ski.
- Balsa wood core has great energy & rebound, while staying reasonably light.
- World Cup bases are a special hardened PTex that can take abuse and tunes.
