Dreamtime 2021: July 26 - August 11
Our Only Sale of the Year
“Summer is a skier’s season to dream.” Those are the words that gave birth to Dreamtime over a decade ago and they remain true today. It’s a time for dedicated skiers around the globe to get lost in heat-induced daydreams of cold smoke, build your perfect quiver and visualize how your body and equipment will work in unison when the snow begins to fall again. Summer is also a time when the DPS product and manufacturing teams are hard at work bringing to life innovative dream projects while tirelessly crafting skis for the coming season.
Dreamtime 2021 marks the introduction of our new Pagoda construction, event-exclusive Special Edition Pagoda Tour skis, two limited-run creations from the Powderworks division, two new Koala models, and a new look for our Foundation line. We are also very excited to introduce two DPS | ATK co-branded bindings. The highest caliber of touring bindings with unique DPS design features that perfectly align with our high performance touring vision. Lastly-- in our mission to be and serve the best-of-the best, we are introducing two unique DPS gloves.
During this short window prices on our inline 2021/22 and Special Edition skis are temporarily reduced by $200, Grom skis are reduced by $100 and all accessories – including apparel, gear, and PHANTOM – are reduced by 15%.
Early Riser & Midnight Rider Special Edition Skis
For the first time in DPS’ history our Special Edition offering is built using our best-in-class touring construction, Pagoda Tour. For our product and manufacturing team the Pagoda Tour construction is the result of countless hours of blood, sweat, tears, design iterations, and manufacturing innovation. The DPS Team works well beyond your normal 9-5 work day dedicating themselves to building the world’s most advanced skis. With that kind of work ethic, and a deep passion for skiing, it’s only natural that many DPS employees find themselves heading out for a backcountry tour well before the sun comes up, or after the sun goes down. These special edition skis are a nod to the people here at DPS who keep the dream alive.
Special Edition skis are released once per year exclusively at Dreamtime. They are small-batch, limited edition ‘artwork’ creations made in the Salt Lake City, Utah DPS factory, and are never reproduced again. Prized by those craving something truly rare and exotic, interested skiers are strongly encouraged to contact a DPS ski fitter before Dreamtime commences so that they can act decisively, as SEs commonly sellout. The 2021 Special Edition skis are available in the following Pagoda Tour models:
Special Edition Pagoda Tour 100 RP (Early Riser) - 153cm, 163cm, 171cm, 179cm, 184cm
Special Edition Pagoda Tour 100 RP (Midnight Rider) - 163cm, 171cm, 179cm, 184cm
Special Edition Pagoda Tour 112 RP (Early Riser) - 168cm, 178cm, 184cm
Special Edition Pagoda Tour 112 RP (Midnight Rider) - 158cm, 168cm, 178cm, 184cm
Limited Powderworks Creations
Powderworks skis represent a space that allows for cutting-edge creativity, progressive shapes, and experimental R+D efforts. Unrestrained by traditional ski construction, these designs are born from a fleeting moment on a memorable chairlift ride—then slowly brought to life in the R+D lab beginning that very evening. A small batch of Powderworks monikered skis are built every year for core members of skiing’s culture, whose lives revolve around their next epic powder turn.
Powderworks RPC 115: 178cm, 186cm, 192cm
Powderworks Tour Lotus 124: 171cm, 178cm, 185cm
NEW Pagoda Construction
Allow your senses to merge with the zenith of carbon fiber ski tuning.
Pagoda is an approach to engineering. It’s the product of over 15 years devoted to tuning carbon skis. As the centerpiece of the DPS ski collection, Pagoda sits comfortably between the Pagoda Piste and Pagoda Tour bookends. Defying classification, this vibrant construction performs extremely well in both resort and backcountry settings. Its unique combination of both vertical and horizontally layered core quiets unpleasant inconsistencies felt in less-than-perfect snow, while allowing the electricity of carbon to elevate the senses during the precious moments of soft snow euphoria. Enjoy the palpable sensations that can only be found when the mind and ski unite: experience Pagoda.
Available in the following models and lengths:
100 RP: 153cm, 163cm, 171cm, 179cm, 184cm, 189cm
106 C2: 155cm, 163cm, 171cm, 179cm, 184cm, 189cm
112 RP: 158cm, 168cm, 178cm, 184cm, 189cm
Lotus 124: 171cm, 178cm, 185cm, 191cm
NEW Koala Models
Koala 118
The newly designed Koala 118 is an entirely fresh shape that places increased emphasis on the freestyle fun factor, while providing plenty of stability and edgehold. Let the whole mountain become your powder playground with its 19m turn radius, deep rocker lines, and a softer, more progressive flex pattern than its predecessor. Enjoy buttering and spinning off your favorite features as you link together as many hits as possible on a pow day.
Available in the following lengths: 176cm, 184cm, 189cm.
Koala 103
Poppy on the lip, stable on the landings, and comfortable on the rails, focus on making the entire mountain your personal park with the Koala 103. With its completely fresh shape and flex pattern, it’s made to spin, butter, ollie, and transform the side hits into your new best friends. Yet it retains DPS’ emphasis on the art of the turn, ensuring enjoyment between freestyle hits.
Available in the following lengths: 168cm, 176cm, 184cm, 189cm.
NEW Foundation Skis
Employing best-in-class components from start-to-finish, weight was not a factor during the design process. Triaxial fiberglass wraps the bamboo and poplar bi-phase wood core, while unidirectional carbon stringers add torsional stiffness and life. The result is an on-snow feel that produces a wonderful blend of power and dampness, and is readily accessible to a wide range of skier profiles. Every model in the Foundation series shares DPS’ C2 and RP chassis shaping that yields design and performance consistency from shape-to-shape and length-to-length.
Available in the following models and lengths:
87 Grom: 148cm, 158cm
99 Grom: 148cm, 158cm
100 RP: 153cm, 163cm, 171cm, 179cm, 184cm, 189cm
106 C2: 155cm, 163cm, 171cm, 179cm, 184cm, 189cm
112 RP: 158cm, 168cm, 178cm, 184cm, 189cm
