DPS Skis

We are honored to be featured by KSL NewsRadio, showcasing our commitment to designing and manufacturing premium skis right here in Salt Lake City.?With the Wasatch mountains as our testing ground, we can take a ski from concept to snow in a matter of hours, ensuring every design meets the highest standards of performance. It's a process driven by innovation, passion, and a relentless pursuit of the perfect turn. Check out the full story and video to see how we bring innovation to life. #SkiIndustry #Innovation #MadeInUtah #DPSSkis Thomas Laakso Ted Ligety Stuart Gleason Peter Turner

Big things are happening in the DPS factory. We’ve recently added the Wintersteiger Jupiter, a state-of-the-art, fully automated finishing machine that’s redefining how we tune our skis. This revolutionary system seamlessly handles stone grinding, edge shaping, and polishing in one continuous process. “The Jupiter machine is a fully automated finishing machine that gives us the ability to deliver the best finish and tune possible on the market. It streamlines our process, allowing us to focus on other critical finishing details while ensuring every ski gets a consistently dialed tune.” - Tom Sorrell, Facility and Mechanical Manager at DPS With its three-stone setup, we can fine-tune every step of the process, quickly switch between different structures, and dramatically reduce the time and hands-on effort needed to perfect each ski. The result? A faster, more efficient workflow and the best-performing finish we’ve ever offered.

We are proud to be the first to bring Fairmat's groundbreaking recycled carbon fiber technology to the ski industry. This new carbon technology, created by the French start-up Fairmat, is a material breakthrough that we’ve incorporated into the binding platform of our skis. This benefits our skis from the efficient power transmission and vibration damping. Notably, this unique carbon fiber technology is also a breakthrough in circularity, harvesting premium fibers from the waste of Salt Lake City based aerospace suppliers, and repurposing them into high performance skis a few miles away.? ? Last month, our very own Thomas Laakso gave a keynote address in the Paris Eiffel Tower celebrating the transfer of this technology from the labs onto store shelves after a two year collaborative development. #carbonfiber #productdevelopment #sustainability?

Why Carbon? When done right, carbon fiber creates a timeless masterpiece. In our skis, it offers a long-lasting, uniquely energetic feeling on snow that’s unlike anything else. Traditional fiberglass and metal ski constructions break down over time and start to feel dead after a season or two. Pure carbon construction will never break down, and leaves you with an energetic snap, pop, and excitement throughout every turn year after year. It’s one of the primary reasons our skis stay on the slopes for as long as they do. Although aerospace grade is an extremely expensive material to invest a ski construction upon, eventually it has very low cost per use thanks to its longevity. In the last 5 years you've maybe begun to see skis touting carbon. But there is a big difference between industrial carbon strands, and aerospace grade full carbon laminates that we've continually pioneered over the last 20 years. Ask any owner of a DPS ski if the carbon difference is worth it and you just might be convinced. Carbon fiber is not just an important material in our construction – it’s essential for achieving the superior performance and dynamic feel that sets our skis apart. #dpsskis #skiing #utah #usamade #carbonfiber #manufacturing #outdoorindustry
