Shaping Pathway
Grom 99
Groms are our contribution to skiing. Inspired by some of our most iconic shapes, they are built to the same standards as our adult skis, prioritizing durability and performance, and using all the same top quality components. Our mission is to provide the highest quality tools that lay a foundation to stoke the next generation of young skiers, so they will continue loving the sport as the years pass.
Do you actually wax your equipment as much as you should? Do you care about the environmental impact of your wax no matter what type you are using? Make the best decision for the performance of your gear and the environment. PHANTOM is an eco-friendly, one-time application, permanent waxless base treatment that eliminates the need for regular waxing of skis and snowboards and is inert to the environment. When used on a properly maintained base, PHANTOM’s patent-pending polymer technology offers ultimate convenience combined with great glide performance that never wanes across all snow temperatures, and for the life of a ski or snowboard’s use.

A supremely damp, powerful, and durable construction. 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. 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.
Customer Reviews
I picked up two of the 99's in 148 & 158 for my ripping grommets who were out skiing the plywood core junk that Atomic was putting out there. We ski off the tram in Jackson, High Boy at Alta, hike EGP at Soli, basically everywhere dad goes they go. Now I know the skis aren't going to limit the amount of adventure we can have together.
The Groms have everything you want in an adult DPS ski. Classic rocker camber rocker, tip/tail splay with deep taper and a tight turning radius that is still capable to make longer turns at speed. A classic all-mountain shape for what we ski here in the Wasatch, they're not held back on hard pack. The foundation construction is burly enough for when my nuckleheads do park laps when we hit mid mountain even though I ask them not to do rails.
Now that my older son is grown into adult sizes he loves skiing the Wailer A99. Atta boy :P
