DESCRIPTION:
In the heart of the new Foundation lineup is the 99, a shape that diverts away from the traditional Pure3 and Hybrid versions that were heavily tapered in the tip and tail. The Foundation 99 has a longer sidecut length to engage evolving radii as the ski progressively gets pushed harder and at higher edge angles. The rocker profile remains virtually untouched, which means easy turn entry and exit, and substantial float for 99mm underfoot. The F99 is a little brother to the F106 and offers ultimate in go-everywhere, do-everything versatility.

FEATURES:

128 / 99 /117 | Radius: 16m @184cm

Foundation Core | Bi-Phase Bamboo + Poplar - Foundation is a completely reimagined and rebuilt construction category that represents a futuristic approach to ski design. Every model in the Foundation series shares DPS Chassis DNA shaping that yields design and performance consistency from shape-to shape and length-to-length. Foundation employs the absolute best-in-class components from start-to-finish, with top-notch durability. On-snow feel is a wonderful blend of power and dampness that is readily accessible to a wide range of skier profiles.

Chassis Design - In ski design, there is a conventional hierarchy of variables that drive the end shape. DPS has re-prioritized and reorganized these drivers so that the design now starts directly under your foot and moves outward to the tip and tail, as opposed to overlaying flex patterns on pre-drawn shapes. The result is an optimized relationship between the flex pattern and sidecut that is perfected through testing, and then mathematically translated across every model in the lineup. The goal is to create a distinct DPS feel that can be sensed in every ski from the Cassiar 82 all the way to the Lotus 124.

Paddle Tech - Tapered, flatter sidecut section that blends at the contact points. It's the special ingredient that drives a uniquely smooth and intuitive sense of turn shape.
