You've got a rendezvous at the resort with the DPS Uschi 82 Foundation Skis. With a slim, 82mm waist, they are perfect for blazing on-piste, while remaining playful in the trees, moshing through moguls, and dabbling in shallow powder. Shaped with DPS's Chassis Design, the sidecut and flex pattern are paired perfectly, landing you with a fine-tuned feel every time you arrive at the top of the ski hill. The powerful and damp, but lightweight bamboo/poplar core of the DPS Uschi 82 Foundation Skis allow you to feel like you're floating on air.
Rocker / Camber / Rocker
Paddle Tech – Tapered, flatter sidecut section that blends at the contact points. It's the special ingredient that drives a uniquely smooth and intuitive sense of turn shape.
Chassis Design – In ski design, there is a conventional hierarchy of variables that drive the end shape. From 2016 onwards, DPS has re-prioritized and reorganized these drivers so that the design now starts directly under your foot and moves outward to the tip and tail, as opposed to overlaying flex patterns on pre-drawn shapes. The result is an optimized relationship between the flex pattern and sidecut that is perfected through testing, and then mathematically translated across every new model in the lineup. The goal is to create a distinct DPS feel that can be sensed in every ski from the Cassiar 82 all the way to the Lotus 124.
Foundation Core | Bi-Phase Bamboo + Poplar – Foundation is a completely reimagined and rebuilt construction category that represents a futuristic approach to ski design. Every model in the Foundation series shares DPS Chassis DNA shaping that yields design and performance consistency from shape-to shape and length-to-length. Foundation employs the absolute best-in-class components from start-to-finish, with top-notch durability. On-snow feel is a wonderful blend of power and dampness that is readily accessible to a wide range of skier profiles.

Graphite World Cup Race Base – Fastest bases, because speed is good! No die-cut or colored bases that cause durability and speed issues.
