Product Info
The lightest, most powerful powder ski that exists on earth, the DPS Spoon Skis were specifically designed for the best heli/cat/backcountry days. A Convex 3-D shovel and single-radius rocker ensures maximum float in the deepest snow and minimizes the need for up and down movement when skiing powder. Edge bevel and all, this ski is as close to a surfboard on snow as you can get-- a shape that allows for massive slashes and a butter smearing, powder surfing sensation. The DPS Spoon Skis are made for the deepest days and the professional powder hounds.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Underfoot Rocker – Single-radius Rocker ensures maximum float.
630 mm / Camber / 440 mm
Flex
Infinite Flex Life – Pure3 Carbon + Nano skis employ the most advanced pepreg nano resins and space age laminates which result in ultimate performance and value. Unlike conventional skis that break down over a season, DPS Pure3 Carbon + Nano construction maintains the same pop, power, and life after years of hard use.
Sidecut
Paddle Tech – Tapered, flatter sidecut section that blends at the contact points. It's the special ingredient that drives a uniquely smooth and intuitive sense of turn shape.
Shape
Shovel Convexity – Prevents shovel trenching and grabbing, while encouraging maximum flotation for a slippery, slarvy, surfing turn.
Flat-Running Surface
Core
Poplar Core – Stability, power and ease are paramount in this 100% Poplar wood core. For those looking for predictability and smoothness the Poplar Core delivers in all snow conditions.
S.S. Enhanced – SS Enhanced is a patent pending addition to Pure3 construction that integrates titanal ribs to the core structure, endowing the skis with superior dampening while maintaining the energy and power of a pure carbon build, without adding weight.
Laminates
Pure3 Carbon + Nano – Truly unique, DPS Pure construction makes for the most advanced high performance skis made on earth. Pure3 Carbon + Nano features exclusive aerospace carbon and nanotech technology, and the absolute finest accompanying materials. Revolutionary on both paper and on snow, the Pure3 construction showcases years of research and refinement in a ski that is 30% lighter than conventional constructions, while at the same 30% torsionally stiffer, stronger, and more powerful.
Carbon Binding Plates
Polyamide Top
Tan Delta Dampening System
Sidewalls
UHMW Sidewalls
Base
Black Bases – DPS doesn't fool around with diecuts on the running surface that pose durability issues, or colored bases that run slower. DPS employs only the finest Austrian high graphite content sintered bases for the best speed and life.
Edges
2 mm Rockwell 48C Edges
Additional Features
PW² (Perimeter Weighted Inserts) – Perimeter weighted inserts mate the power of carbon with a damper ride, equally suited for high-speed hard snow performance as it is for surfing powder.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker

Rocker Type
Rocker Rocker (also called reverse-camber) is just as it sounds – camber turned upside down. Rocker skis have a side profile with a smooth downward curvature and a contact point at the middle of the ski. Rocker skis excel in deep powder. This profile provides the skis with less tip and tail hang up to prevent from catching edges and allows the skis to initiate turns extremely quickly. This profile doesn’t perform as well in icy conditions or on harder snow but if you spend lots of time in deep, untracked snow and like a more playful ski, Rocker is a great choice.
- Core/Laminates: Carbon, Wood

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
