Kaizen 105 Ski – 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I skied the Kaizen 105 through everything from early-morning groomers to late-day chop and even a surprise powder stash—and it charged through all of it. It’s that rare ski that’s stable at speed, nimble in trees, and still fun when the snow gets deep.”

The Kaizen 105 Ski is DPS’s answer to the elusive one-ski quiver—and it delivers with precision. Designed and handmade in the USA, this carbon-powered charger fuses the best elements of DPS’s heritage shapes—the RP’s playfulness and the C2’s carving prowess—into a ski that lives to explore every corner of the mountain. With an 18-meter turn radius and 105mm underfoot, it balances float, control, and edge grip effortlessly.

We love how it settles into long GS arcs on the groomers and holds firm on bulletproof hardpack, but it’s just as eager to pivot through tight trees or devour a field of soft bumps. Its construction uses DPS’s new split wood core of poplar and ash, paired with a full carbon laminate, to create a ride that’s incredibly damp yet responsive—smooth at speed, quick in tight spots, and confident in variable snow. This is a ski built for the skiers who do it all and demand a shape that can too.
