DPS Introduces Powderworks

Salt Lake City, UT (July 10, 2014) -- DPS is proud to announce that a limited edition line of skunkworks skis dubbed Powderworks will be released during Dreamtime (July 15 – August 1)—and will be an ongoing arm of DPS. With DPS’ Utah Factory entering its second production year, Powderworks skis offer a glimpse into DPS’ R+D lab, previewing special construction or shaping features that may be incorporated into larger production runs in the future.

Drake PowderworkS, LLC was born in 2005 with a mission to build skis worthy of skiers dedicated to the pursuit of the perfect turn on the perfect run. Lives change when one is seduced by the art of riding mountains; skiing becomes an all-encompassing quest requiring precise tools that mirror a skier’s ultimate commitment. Our heritage includes creating the world’s first prepreg carbon sandwich construction, and a novel lineup of shapes that have forever changed ski design.

For the inaugural Powderworks launch during Dreamtime, we brewed ten-year anniversary editions of the Lotus 120 and The Spoon—two iconic DPS shapes that are mated with ultra-light cores and increased dampening components for a differentiated space age ride. The result is ultra-light, tourable pow sticks built to charge and absorb mixed snow when needed. These are hand signed, factory hot-boxed, limited edition pairs with only 25 produced per model. The standard Pure3 versions are completely unrivaled in terms of the power-to-weight ratio, but these Powderworks editions up the ante one step further.
