Thread: Boycott DPS skis??

Stephan has problems with Goode, has his own intentions and begins DPS. Using groundbreaking designs and innovative materials to create a different type of on-snow powder experience that takes powder skiing to a whole new level.
Initially, DPS has success with the 138, 120 and 105.
He continues to push the envelope with incredible marketing and with the 112rp, but has a problem with chinese manufacturers. He wants to grow his company, move manufacturing to the USA and has no choice but to get in bed with gaper big $$$ investors who want to grow the company by introducing many new models/lay-ups. This causes the quality of the product and reputation of the company to decline, thus playing a roll in valuable employees fleeing. Stephan has a problem losing total control of his company that would have not existed without his expertise.
FF to 2021: Stephan introduces a new company that specializes in grass roots pow boards that maggots are drooling over.

Curious to see if this will actually lead to a brand name change. Though if he leaves and they change the name, how much would they have to change to be a different company

Sure the S7, Lhasa Pow and 112rp were very similar in a lot of ways. They did have different lay-ups which made all three unique.
Btw, SD copying, or being copied is nothing new and has been going on since at least 2005: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...p/t-39426.html
I particularly like the last two posts that seem to call Pat Keane out for not posting when he was an active poster in the thread.“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

I understand buddy was a rossi/ DPS dealer at the time and so the S6 and S7 had just come out
but the 112 was a L120 tip/tail combined with the Cassiar 85 under foot
I'm sure the guy who invented the Titanium hammer was also influenced by the tendonitis from using an Estwing but its still a different/better hammerLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

the 112's with the shinny tops were not drab and when you picked them up you got really exclusive/ really expensive slivers
I shot my buddy a DPS link , he became a dealer, bought 16pairs, he later told me in 15 yrs of flogging gear that was his biggest selling outdoor product evaLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Just posting in this important thread, just in case anyone might be concerned that I was boycotting this thread.
