The Cassiar is the ultimate carving ski that DPS designs, and the Foundation construction is the stiffest. Put the two together, and you'll be charging down corduroy with DPS's stiffest carver: the Cassiar F94 C2 Ski. This ski best-serves the harder chargers out there who like tight turns at high speeds on firm snow—we're talking three- to five-day resort snow. A 94mm waist makes this the widest Cassiar that DPS makes, which makes it better-suited for heavier riders, or skiers looking for more versatility when there's some soft snow out there.

DPS shaped the Cassiar with a pretty heavy rocker at the tip and a flatter tail, resulting in a playful ride that can make turns as easy as it can snap out of them. There's just enough camber underfoot to help you spring in and out of turns, as well as hold an edge when the snow gets dicey. The Foundation construction features a thick carbon laminate and triaxial fiberglass to drastically increase the ski's stiffness without disturbing the bouncy, poppy wood core's natural flex. DPS added durable sidewalls and a textured top sheet that should stay solid for seasons of charging.
