Shaping Pathway
Koala 119
A new ski built for animals. As the stars of DPS Cinematic, skiers like Dash Longe, Piers Solomon, and Santiago Guzman are mixing playful freestyle tricks in deep snow with high speed shredding. Designed around a more forward mounted chassis platform that enables butters, switch skiing, and landing big airs, the Koala blends freestyle flair with directional charging to create a powder-oriented all-arounder for those who want to push the creative side of their big mountain skiing.
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.
