DPS Yvette A100 RP
Weighing in at 1760g, the high-performance DPS Yvette A100 RP doesn’t pretend to be the lightest ski in the skin track, but if you’re packing a half-decent amount of mountain fitness and a pair of lightweight touring bindings, you won’t notice a thing.
The ‘A’ in the A100 signifies that this ski sits in DPS’s Alchemist range – a superlative series of pure carbon lightweight skis using the finest of materials to deliver a primo ride.
The descent is where the Yvette A100 RP really comes into its own.
With a soft flex and deep rocker, the Yvette A100 RP was playful and floaty in the powder, powerful and damp in the crud and surfy as hell in the life-affirming spring corn snow.
Carbon skis can jar and jolt but this gal felt stable, solid and reliable in challenging conditions – a triumph that goes a long way to justifying its premium price tag.
Stunning to look at, even better to ski!
Verdict
Playful and floaty in the powder, powerful and damp in the crud and surfy as hell in the life-affirming spring corn snow.
