DPS, short for Drake PowderworkS, was founded in Salt Lake City with one goal in mind: to create the world's most advanced skis for powder and backcountry exploration. From day one, the brand has prioritized innovation and craftsmanship, combining aerospace-grade materials with a passion for deep snow performance. DPS was the first to pioneer carbon fiber ski construction at scale, setting a new standard for lightweight strength and responsiveness in freeride skis.

At the heart of DPS is an obsession with feel—the smooth, surfy ride that powder skiers dream about. Their skis are engineered to float effortlessly while maintaining edge hold and control in variable conditions. With distinct profiles across their lineup—from the playful Pagoda to the ultralight Pagoda Tour and the agile Koala freestyle series—DPS caters to skiers who demand power, precision, and finesse. Their designs consistently strike a rare balance between intuitive handling and elite-level performance, whether you’re on a heli-accessed face or a dawn patrol skintrack.

Beyond the skis, DPS is a culture. They're storytellers, artists, and engineers wrapped into one, with a deep respect for the mountains and the people who ride them. With limited, handcrafted runs made in the USA, DPS creates gear for discerning skiers who value quality, innovation, and soul. It's a brand that speaks to those who treat skiing not just as a sport, but as a lifelong pursuit of style, sensation, and snow.
