DPS skis unveiled at SIA 2013. Nice looking boards! -- Video

  • 2013-02-24 23:28:07

    We met with Erme Catino from DPS and he was kind enough to take us on a spin through the new DPS goodies for the new season. Highlights? Lots of spooning with the DPS Spoon leading the way for the DPS Lotus line which now also has a convex base toward the tips. We like the look of the DPS Wailer 112 for a backcountry application.

    Take it away Erme!


    Here's the DPS booth. Nice and clean design--like the skis. They took a picture of us did something with it...


    Here's the DPS spoon, the ultimate powder surfer. Did the minds behind DPS invent the word slarve? We think so.


    Here's the DPS RPCharger, far right. Really nice colours for next year.


    Picture #1 + picture #2 = picture #3. DPS Spoon, DPS Lotus(s) and DPS RP ChargerC.
