Product Info
"RP" stands for "Resort Powder" and the DPS Foundation 112 RP Skis are the king of it. Nobody makes skiing the deep stuff as easy and fatigue-free as DPS, the the flagship 112 RP shape defined the genre. Easy to turn, effortless to get up on plane, and intuitive when it comes to shutting down speed, this ski is meant for the deep days but holds its own when the tide is low as well. If you haven't been on a DPS ski, this is the one to try first.
Product Details
Rocker Type
Rocker / Camber / Rocker (RP Profile) – 45% Tip and Tail Rocker / 55% Effective Edge
Shape
RP Shape – RP is a unique style of shaping pioneered by DPS. With a 15m radius, close to that of a slalom ski, they quickly roll from edge-to-edge to make tight turns when needed. The coupling of a tight radius with rocker at tip and tail results in a very intuitive shape that enhances nimbleness, while providing the float needed to plane atop fresh powder and chop.

Terrain:
Big Mountain, Powder

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced

Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
