FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO SKI FAST AND FEEL THEIR EDGES, THE all-new DPS Pagoda Tour 106 C2 merges the Tour construction with the C2 shape, a lightweight ski with impressive downhill chops. The Salt Lake City-based brand’s C2 series skis feature a longer effective edge than the RP skis, a powerful directional build that favors fast, long-radius turns over tight, quick turns in the trees. Don’t let the sub 1,500-gram weight fool you; the DPS Pagoda Tour 106 C2 is not at all a wimpy touring ski, instead geared towards more advanced skiers who want to trust what’s under their feet while charging midwinter lines as well as spring corn. The 106-mm waist provides a solid platform for everyday touring, with a beefy 137-mm shovel that keeps you afloat when Ullr delivers.
