SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – July 10, 2018 – The purveyors of passion at DPS continue to stoke the flames of ski-citement with the return of Dreamtime. The two week-long event, which begins July 16, 2018, is the only time of year when DPS offers discounted prices on its award-winning skis. With a full lineup of products available, skiers needs – from piste-to-powder – are thoroughly covered.

DPS’ 2018 Powderworks offerings, which will be available from key retailers and online at the freshly updated dpsskis.com, represent a look into the brand’s past and future. This year’s models include the cult-classic Lotus 138 Spoon (182cm, 192cm) and the all-new Wailer 110 C2 (178cm, 184cm, 189cm), the former of which feature the absolute latest in flex pattern design and DPS’ C2 Chassis sidecut shaping philosophy. Uniquely designed, both these Alchemist-constructed shapes are only available in limited, serialized volumes during the two-week event.

I really liked the Casiar Foundation 94 in 185 when I demoed. Great price, too, for a premium ski thay feels like premium construction.

I just read their description and fits what I felt and described at the time. Smooth and damp ride. Really stable.

What I respect, and I think is worth mentioning, is how balanced and factual their description of the ski is. No superlatives, no big marketing lingo. Simple facts. Thank you.

@Philpug Any intell on the C2 110 chassis design, more traditional shape like the 106A or more wailer A 112ish ?

From Peter Strong at DPS

"More of a charger type ski - 22m turning radius, low splay height combined with our award winning Alchemist construction. I was fortunate to ski it a bit towards the end of the season and I must say, it's pretty awesome!"

Sounds like a skinny RPC
