The DPS Skis Story
Our Story
Founded in 2005, DPS Skis set out with a bold vision: to revolutionize powder skiing by crafting groundbreaking ski shapes using cutting-edge carbon fiber technology. Co-founded by veteran ski engineer Peter Turner, who continues to lead our ski design team today, DPS is driven by a relentless pursuit of the perfect turn. Our innovative designs have redefined the sport, extending far beyond powder to all types of skiing.
Notable Innovations
- The first rockered ski with sidecut
- The world’s first pure pre-preg carbon fiber sandwich ski
- The first 120mm waist powder pintail
- The Spoon, a convex, three-dimensional shovel ski with a radical edge bevel
- PHANTOM Glide, a permanent, one-time application base treatment that provides increased glide for skis and snowboards across all snow conditions.
Made in the USA
Since 2013, our global headquarters has been located at the base of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Within our adjoining state-of-the-art ski factory, DPS is the largest domestic producer of skis in the United States. We employ over 35 locally based production and office workers, who all call the Greater Salt Lake City area home.
Complete Control
We’re proud to be American Made, and producing skis in Utah has provided profound benefits to our business. We’re able to maintain complete control over every step of the production process of our skis, from our wood core machining, top sheet printing, and ski pressing, to our quality control procedures.
Proximity to Performance
With world-class ski resorts and backcountry terrain just minutes away, our team can test and refine designs in real-world conditions. This has helped us to greatly expand our research and development capabilities.
Our Commitment to Value
We believe in delivering lasting value. Built to endure, DPS Skis are backed by our Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects on all USA-made carbon skis, ensuring you can keep carving turns for years to come. And when it’s time for an upgrade, our Revive program lets you trade in your old skis for credit toward a new pair. We then restore these skis to top condition and offer them at a great price to new skiers.
A Community of Passionate Skiers
DPS is proudly owned by a diverse group of passionate skiers who share a deep belief in the innovation and performance that carbon fiber skis bring to the sport. This inclusive group of investors, including some of our own employees, are not just backers—they are our most enthusiastic fans and advocates. United by a love of skiing and a commitment to quality, they are driven by the same purpose that fuels our company: to enhance the skiing experience for all.
