The Pagoda Tour CFL 105 is DPS's most versatile backcountry ski, built off the award-winning Kaizen 105. It has a 105 mm waist, an 18 m turn radius, a reduced rocker profile and a more centered stance. The full carbon construction uses two tip-to-tail pieces of carbon woven with organic flax fibers to cut torsional chatter, over proprietary wood cores with a tougher topsheet and factory-applied Phantom Glide. This one comes in Blue Dusk.
The trade-off of a centered, lower-rocker touring ski is that it rewards speed and commitment more than slow, surfy turns. It is designed to give high-speed confidence on the way down, and skiers who want the most float on deep days will lean toward the Pagoda Tour CFL 112.
It is for backcountry skiers who want one touring ski for any terrain, blending downhill performance with uphill efficiency for big objectives or resort fitness laps before work.
DPS makes it from 155 to 184 cm. Come talk to us about the right length and a touring binding to match.
We love the Pagoda Tour CFL 105 as a do-everything touring ski for big days in the Green Mountains, light on the skin track and solid on the descent.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.

Quick Rule
- Beginner: ski tip around your chin. Shorter skis turn easily.
- Intermediate: tip between your nose and forehead.
- Advanced: tip around the top of your head, for stability at speed.
- Expert: about 5cm longer than advanced, for hard charging and big-mountain terrain.
Adjust For
- Go longer: heavier build, fast skiing, deep snow, lots of tip rocker.
- Go shorter: lighter build, tight trees and moguls, uphill touring.
- Telemark: if you want a ski for tele, we recommend going down about 10cm from the length you normally like.
