PSA: DPS Dreamtime Sale, $200 off skis & more
I'm sure some of you are aware, but for those that haven't seen DPS is running a $200 off skis sale from today til August 11th.
https://www.dpsskis.com/
If I hadn't picked up a pair of J108s at a similar price, those Koala 103s for $500 would be very tempting.

Until DPS starts making cutting edge designs again (Lotus 120, early 138 shapes, Spoon, etc), they're a Deer Valley $$$$ rental brand as far as I'm concerned.

Rental fleet???? A bit harsh. ….but I get your point. I cling onto my old school 120s and 105s (x2) and I have not been an buyer for quite a few seasons now. Lost count. Have more ON3P purchases than I like to admit since…..
DPS moved away from their niche and just another ski on the dance floor now but with a much higher cover charge. I guess they realized their general market is older and attracted to tamer beasts. Feel like it has become more of a status symbol than an icon.Uno mas

Status symbol is right. $1400 for Powder-works RPC’s is bananas.

Admittedly I just talking sh!t, but unlike the early years of DPS when I drooled over their website and watched their sexy pow videos, I don't pay any attention anymore.
So many good skis out there now for half the price.

I guess a lot of the TGR crowd is interested in shapes other than the Koalas, but those come in at a pretty good price with the sale.. maybe the Koalas are cheaper because they know the older, wealthier crowd will still pay $1,000 for the other shapes
I've never skied DPS, but do know some rippin tele skiers who like their stuff. If I'm going to drop $1k+ you best believe I am headed to that custom ON3P builder.

The Koala lineup is reasonably priced and I bet they are good skis if boring. The other shit is ridiculous.

The Powderworks 124 tour in a 171cm would be a ridiculous touring ski for my wife. She actually likes her wailers as a light skier (women seem to love that shape). But… there is no way I would drop $1400. It’s not a matter of the money, we spend a lot more on bike gear… it’s just thats a dumb price point.
I could maybe get on board with $1000 if I find some on a shelf but $1400 is just stupid.

The 168, (or whatever), Le Petit, or small GPO from Praxis, kills the DPS Yvette, according to my 2 strong females. And look cooler, and get more compliments (which the chicks kind of dig).
Custom and cheaper. The Yvettes are pretty good rock skis though, w/ a tad more float for bony conditions.Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda

I’m not going to make the case that they’re good value (though my 10 year old Wailer 112s are as lively as the day I bought them), but as I’m hanging out in oppressive wildfire smoke and considering a new pair of touring skis, I’m not aware of anything (not the BMT109, Slayr 114, or Intention 110?) that delivers a comparable feature set (optimized for big days lapping powder in steep trees) to the DPS Pagoda Tour 112. I also like the new SE graphics.
