New DPS Spoons

[IanAvery-Leaf]

pretty funky looking but the cleat things are supposed to help when you hit hardpack

 

[DGski]

yeah

 

[skiingblowsme]

weird......

 

[Supergyro]

Looks weird. But I'm not gonna judge before I try them.

 

[Pool.]

they look unreal, do want a pair

 

[skiingblowsme]

 

[cbrady]

as stated, meant for the deeps. That is what this ski is for. The cleat will help with some edge hold, but for deep-deep, this is it. don't plan on skiing groomers!

 

[DGski]

what are the specs?

 

[hemlockjibber8]

150 underfoot. 192 long. convex base. They are not going into production, they are more of a concept car idea. Technology from these will trickle down into other DPS models

 

[DGski]

nice.

 

[Balto]

sometime in the future is realistically 2+ seasons away

DPS' Stephan Drake tests the Spoon behind Alta, Utah. from DPS SKIS on Vimeo.

/static/images/flash_video_placeholder.pnglooks so cool but completely unpractical for anything other than untracked powder still want a pair though

 

[blatt]

Why is everyone saying that it's only practical for powder?

aren't the little dips in the edges supposed to be in order to have some sort of camber for carving?

 

[joshua]

Yeah so that you don't die the second you hit snowpack.

 

[cool_name]

they have dimples because the whole base in rounded so if you standing on top of cornice or something and it icy you dont fall down due to thecleats in base shape. they aren't really meant for craving at all i thought the same thing as you did at first but there just there for runouts and if you standing on a icy cornice or something

 

[mountainviper]

Yeah someone on tgr who rode em said they're quite perilous on hardpack.

 

[mountainviper]

Uh ok?

 

[belden...]

Any news on how they'll hold up on rails/ jumps 25-45 feet? I was looking to pick some up.

Sorry OP but this is a website about snow skiing, you appear to have posted a photo of some water skis.
