Why We Like the DPS Kaizen 100 Alpine Touring Ski
As a member of DPS' 2024 Kaizen lineup, the DPS Kaizen 100 is marked as a rocker shaped ski. Like the Kaizen 112, it features a substantial ~45% rocker and shorter 15 meter turn radius, both working together to create a ski ideal for a lot of maneuverability around the mountain.
The carbon fiber laminate and split core construction is new to this lineup, building on the horizontal lamination concepts initially found in the Pagoda skis. Layers of ash and poplar in the DPS Kaizen 100, as well as a new glue, work together to dampen vibrations, and the new carbon fiber optimizes energy throughout the ski for a ride that is surfy, playful and capable.
The DPS Kaizen 100's large rockered tip means this ski will float great in powder, but it can still wiggle its way through trees and moguls or arc turns on that beautiful morning corduroy.
