The DPS Foundation 100 RP is on the path for legend status. Classic RP shaping combines a 15m radius with a shorter effective edge than its C2 brethren to promote performance that is both forgiving to pivot and slide, yet powerful and reactive when locked into a carve.

Get the most out of your all-mountain 100 mm selection with a durable and damp ski that makes your skiing easier while elevating your performance.

Technology

Foundation
A supremely damp, powerful, and durable construction. Employing best-in-class components from start-to-finish, weight was not a factor during the design process. Triaxial fiberglass wraps the bamboo and poplar bi-phase wood core, while unidirectional carbon stringers add torsional stiffness.

The result is an on-snow feel that produces a wonderful blend of power and dampness, and is readily accessible to a wide range of skier profiles. Every model in the Foundation series shares DPS’ C2 and RP chassis shaping that yields design and performance consistency from shape-to-shape and length-to-length.

RP
RP is a unique style of shaping pioneered by DPS. With a 15 m radius, close to that of a slalom ski, they quickly roll from edge-to-edge to make tight turns when needed - such as when the snow quality suddenly changes, or a tree approaches far quicker than expected.

Historically, skis with a 15m radius have been really short, which comes with a lack of stability at higher speeds. To add needed stability, rockered tips and tails were added to the equation. The coupling of these contrasting attributes results in a very intuitive shape that enhances nimbleness, while providing the float needed to plane atop fresh powder and chop.
