DPS Skis Kaizen 105 Ski - 2025

Why We Like The DPS Kaizen 105 Ski

The Kaizen 105 Ski is a brand-new offering from DPS, inspired by their RP and C2 chassis to create something completely unique and massively competent all over the mountain. The horizontal split core is made up of ash and poplar and provides excellent damping, even among the most chopped-up groomers on the way back to the lift. The full carbon laminate and lengthened effective edge give us incredible hold on sweeping turns through deep powder, while the low rocker in the tip and tail creates a stronger connection with the snow beneath our feet for instantaneous feedback. DPS set out to create a ski that was comfortable at any resort and in all conditions, and while we haven´t tried it everywhere quite yet, we´re excited to bring it along with us wherever we go.
