Behold DPS' flagship new ski, the DPS Wailer 106 Foundation Skis. The centerpiece of their new Chassis Design ideology, the Wailer 106 is up for just about anything. This new philosophy centers around the concept that a ski should be built from your center of balance outwards, using variable material types, thicknesses, and shaping, rather than simply laying material down on a pre-determined mold, "sandwich" style. The DPS Wailer 106 Foundation Skis combine brand new bi-phase bamboo and poplar with unidrectional carbon, for DPS' best combination of dampness and power yet. The DPS Wailer 106 Foundation Skis are at your beck and call, adapting to your style and terrain choice effortlessly, from a big-mountain line to freshly groomed corduroy.

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. 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 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.

All the hard charging goodness of the cult-classic STH 16 in a lighter, cheaper and lower DIN package is what the Salomon STH2 WTR 13 Ski Bindings are all about, and that's a good thing. Designed to deliver the same precision, power, and reassuring step-in as their big brothers, the STH2 WTR 13 Ski Bindings are ideal for serious freeride skiers who don't have the mass to warrant a heavier 16 DIN. The superior lateral power transmission, outstanding elasticity and low effort step in action in deep snow are all the same.
3D Driver Toe – Multi-directional release and elastic travel. Pivots in multiple directions in order to dampen shocks when landing.
XL Wings – Engages the boot better: confidence inspiring, easier to step-in in powder and provides more lateral power.
Stomp Pedal – A fixed, wide pedal ensures the best transmission from skier to ski.
Micro Simultaneous Wing Adjustment – Turn one screw and both wings move at the same time.
Manual Toe Height Adjustment
Heel Flex Interface – Guarantees natural ski flex.
Freeski Brakes – Self retracting brakes adapted to modern skis and practices. Eliminates hang ups on switch landings.
Easy Step-In – Makes stepping in very easy with no compromise on safety and performance.
Oversized Platform – A super wide (71 mm) platform ensures maximum lateral power transmission, especially on wider skis.
Progressive Transfer Pads – Progressive feel with increased dampening and less shock.
+Elastic Travel – Superior elastic travel keeps you in when you want, lets you out when needed while ensuring a smoother ride.
Low Profile Chassis – Low stand height for increased terrain feedback and enhanced power transmission.
High Lateral Transmission – More precision, more control to reach a new level of performance.
Adjustment Range – 28 mm
Height – 18.4 mm
