Description
DPS Pisteworks 94
Carbon-powered carving with all-mountain reach.
The Pisteworks 94 is a carbon-fueled frontside specialist that still roams the whole mountain. Co-developed in the spirit of modern GS turns, it pairs a quick, confidence-inspiring edge with a planted, energetic feel at speed. A rocker/camber/rocker profile initiates cleanly and releases on demand, while the full-carbon layup and underfoot power plate load and rebound with precision.
- 94 mm waist—frontside bite with enough platform for mixed snow.
- 18–20 m progressive radius (by length)—clean GS-style arcs with stability when you open it up.
- Full carbon construction + underfoot power plate—lively energy return, torsional grip, and calm damping.
- Rocker/Camber/Rocker—easy initiation, solid mid-turn hold, confident release.
- Factory Phantom Glide base treatment (model dependent) for fast, low-maintenance glide.

DPS Pisteworks 94

The take
“All the carving DNA of the 79, but it doesn't panic when the snow gets soft.”
If the Pisteworks 79 is a scalpel, the 94 is a chef's knife. Same carbon construction, same Phantom base, same hand-built Salt Lake quality — but 15mm wider and with more rocker in the tip (27% vs 20%). That changes the personality completely.
On groomers, it carves. Really well. The carbon construction keeps it light at ~1,660g in the 178, so you don't feel like you're muscling a big ski through turns. Edge engagement is sharp and fast, though not as instant as the 79 — the extra rocker gives you a half-beat of float before the edge bites. On hardpack, that's actually nice. Takes some aggression out of the entry.
Where the 94 earns its wider waist is off-piste. Light chop, scraped-off powder, variable spring conditions — it handles all of it without washing out. You can venture off the groomers for a few turns and come back without feeling like you changed skis. The 79 can't do that.
Turn radius runs 18m at 165cm up to 20m at 189cm. Medium-to-long turns feel natural. Short turns are possible but you have to work for them — this isn't a slalom ski.
Same trade-off as the 79: it wants technique. The carbon construction is responsive, which means sloppy input gets sloppy output. But if you can drive it, it rewards you with precision that heavier all-mountain skis just can't match.
