Product Info
A true powder shape for the children, by none other than DPS, the DPS Foundation 99 Grom Skis feature RP shaping and a 99mm waist (that's humongous in a 148cm ski). Introduce them to the world of soft snow skiing in style on a plank that'll make it easy with the DPS Foundation 99 Grom.
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.

Foundation Core – Aspen core with Unidirectional Carbon stringers
Laminates
Triaxial Fiberglass
Unidirectional Carbon Stringers
Sidewalls
Urethane Sidewalls
Base
World Cup Race Base
Edges
HRC 48 Steel Edges

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. 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
More
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.

Turning Radius

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.
