About DPS Skis

DPS Skis designs and manufactures carbon fibre skis, built in-house in Salt Lake City. The brand makes skis across disciplines including powder, all-mountain, carving, touring and freeride, organised into model families such as Lotus, Kaizen, Wailer, Pisteworks, Pagoda Tour and Koala. It also sells complementary gear, including outerwear under its Strafe label, bindings, poles, skins, and its own Phantom Glide base treatment. DPS positions itself around ski engineering and carbon fibre construction, targeting skiers from recreational to performance-focused riders across different terrain types.

The brand sells direct to consumers through its own website, offering shipping within the US and to parts of Europe, alongside a network of dealers and demo centres. DPS also offers a ski finder quiz to help customers choose a model, a warranty registration scheme, and a trade-in programme called DPS Revive for upgrading old skis. The company was founded by a ski engineer and a professional skier and later relocated its operations to Salt Lake City, where design, pressing, finishing and testing take place under one roof.
