Hi Divas!
I thought I would post my experience with my new DPS 112 Yvette skis. Got them for a rocking deal (they are last years model) from Evo - still (D)amn (P)ricey (S)kis! but are they worth it? YES!!!
I am an advanced skier (not expert) - to be honest my skiing ability is inversely proportional to the trail rating - I am an expert on beginner runs and a beginner on expert runs haha! But seriously, I am inbetween an intermediate and expert so I will label myself as advanced.
With that being said, I only started skiing off piste and powder about 5 years ago. I was a groomer girl until I started to ski Montana resorts. I always struggled in powder. Some of that was not enough time on powder and some was technique.
Fast forward to today, and with these DPS skis, I have basically conquered powder and now I seek it at all times! They have a tremendous float and short turn radius. They also perform decent on trail. I went from struggling to ski powder to jamming down the freshies with decent form! They are also really light skis, but can hold an edge on groomers and on packed powder. On hardpack and icy conditions, they are a little chattery, so I prefer to use my Dynastar Chams (97 under) which are much heavier and slice thru the crud better.
My stats are:
5' 3"
117 lbs
Intermediate- Advanced skier
My powder ski stats are:
DPS 112 RP Yvette (2021 model)
Length: 158
Width : 112
Hope this helps anyone looking for powder skis. I know DPS skis are super expensive, but I have no regrets! Powder is no longer a challenge and struggle! I look forward to it now!
