Wailers for touring skis?

My friend has those for a touring setup for teton pass laps and half day tours. Great size and shape for cruising pow and spring conditions. If you want to charge lines or ski variable alpine conditions, you may want a burlier stiffer ski. I hear the newer ones are a bit heavier and stiffer but I haven't seen them

If u got a grand to kill....

Fuck DPS skis.

Pure 3?

I mean, sure go for it. Its just not going to be all that lightweight compared to others... They will float well and break trail okay, but also just basically be better built Rossignol 7's...

I use a 192 TST mounted with kpins. Similar enough to a Wailer in shape and construction. They're fine. DPS is majorly hype though.

theyre endorsed by the ada! (american dental association) :p

Called Dentist Powder Skis for a reason... you will love them in powder but if you aren't skiing strictly good snow every time you tour, or you just want something that can charge, I suggest looking elsewhere

Get a pair of Wailer 105 T2 hybrid or the wailer 112 (115) RPC.

Unfortunately they don't make either anymore, but those were actually BADASS skis that DPS used to make. Lots of metal. Lots of damp. Lots of sendy.

Unfortunately no 55 year old out of shape dentist dad who actually buys DPS is a good enough skier to use either, so now all of their stuff is made for saggy asses to make a poor attempt at skiing and still feel like a hero while showing off their status that they paid 1200$ for the skis alone while hitting on your mom at the bar later when she's just trying to enjoy her Gin and Tonic while reading her book she found on the Oprah's best seller list.

Yo thanks everybody for your input. I was asking because I acquired a pair of 112 rpc.2s for a super deal. I knew that dps was a hype company, but didn’t know much about them. I also just recently bought a pair of On3p billy goats,so I’m gonna try both of them out, then make my decision.

I mean, they make really nice skis and stuff, but only a few of their skis would really be worth buying for the likes of us on this site and how rad we generally get.

There are a few I like, but none are their best sellers.

I have a pair of Wailer 105 T2 Hybrid that im looking to sell. Good condition but they have been drilled

Well, my ass may be saggy, but it's not because the skis suck. And you'd be hard pressed to argue that the Wailer 106 188cm or Lotus 124 190cm are lame, non-badass skis. Strangely, the Lotus F124 (foundation construction) is one of the funner powder jib sticks I've skied, and this is coming from a guy who skied Caylors, Jefferys, and Kartels for years.

The Wailer 115 RPC 2.0 is a Dreamtime/Powderworks ski for now, which means it's pretty limited release, but still available.

Powder touring on the Wailer 112 is pretty dreamy. Mine are Alchemist, so a little heavier than the Pures, but with a light binding and boot, they make an excellent setup for slaying pow and vert. Very surfy, turn on a dime, and still able to go fast.

I wouldn't recommend the 112 on hard snow, but then again, it's not meant for that. Cassiars, especially the new 94, do way, way better there.

106 alchemist in the right size would be an excellent all purpose winter touring ski.

W99 alchemist would be my preference for a 1 stop shop touring ski however
