Powderworks Tour 110 C2 Ski – 2023

For dawn patrol backcountry tours with fresh snow from the night before, we reach for the Powderworks Tour 110 C2 Ski. This model fits into the DPS line as a backcountry-specific tool for getting into advanced terrain with soft snow conditions. The 110mm waist floats in seriously-deep conditions and helps keep things light on the skintrack. The C2 shaping delivers a longer 22m turn radius that makes this ski more suitable for advanced skiers in steeper terrain compared to other shapes from DPS. The Pagoda Tour construction utilizes wood and aerospace-grade foam in the core to achieve incredible lightness underfoot for those long approaches. Algal sidewalls, a full carbon laminate, and an additional sidewall in the ski’s core—known as Third Rail tech—provide exceptional damping capabilities for a stable ride despite the ski’s featherweight feel.
