The Carbon Kaizen 100 redefines all-mountain performance with a 45% rockered profile and 55% effective edges, offering effortless turns on corduroy and explosive agility in powder. These skis blend DPS’s signature Split Core technology—a poplar/ash wood core bonded for optimal dampening—with full carbon laminates for relentless energy transmission.
Key Features:
- Powder Dominance: 130mm tip width and substantial rocker ensure float in deep snow.
- Groomer-Ready: 15m sidecut radius carves precise arcs on hardpack.
- Ultralight Stability: Carbon layers above/below the core minimize weight without sacrificing power.
- World Cup-Grade Base: Rockwell 48 steel edges and race-tuned bases for speed and durability.
Technical specs include a 100mm waist width and flat tail design for controlled slides. At just 7.1 lbs per pair, they’re among the lightest powder skis in their class.

Upgraded from my 2019 model—the Kaizen 100’s carbon laminate makes them noticeably more responsive. Floats like a dream in Utah powder. ★★★★★

Finally found the best skis for groomed and powder. Zero fatigue after long resort days, and they rail on icy East Coast mornings. ★★★★★

For the price, these outperform competitors. The rocker-tail combo lets me slash moguls without getting bucked around. ★★★★☆
