Is DPS the only Pure Carbon Fiber Sandwich ski maker?
Yes. DPS is the company making sandwich construction skis with pure prepreg carbon fiber laminates. Many ski makers claim carbon fiber skis, but these are often dry carbon laminates mixed in with fiberglass in a wet layup. Prepreg carbon is the ultimate precision construction- exact distribution of resin for the ultimate in strength and flex consistency. The highest performance structures built today, such as jet fighters and spacecraft are made using the same process. If you see other carbon sandwich skis in a shop or in person, feel the weight difference between it and a Pure DPS ski. Also, bend and twist the ski torsionally- you will notice than many “carbon” skis on the market will easily twist just like a fiberglass, while a Pure DPS ski will feel much more solid.
