Pisteworks 94

The Pisteworks 94 is a carving ski from DPS for skiers who spend most days on groomers but want to explore beyond them. Ted Ligety developed it with DPS and calls it his all-mountain GS ski, one that carves like a race ski but is happy anywhere. It’s full carbon, with a carbon power plate underfoot for a ride DPS calls lively and responsive.

The 18 m radius at 165 cm is made for big, fast turns, though DPS says it links quick slalom arcs with ease. At 94 mm underfoot, it has a factory-applied Phantom Glide base treatment and an aluminum tail bar that helps resist dings and delamination. The radius reaches 20 m at 189 cm, and the ski weighs 1,510 g at 165 cm. DPS makes it in the USA with a lifetime warranty. Shown in Satin Carbon Red.
