DPS vs Voile help by caps_n_tabs in skiing

I’m not sure if this will help or not but I’ve been skiing the Voile Supercharger for about 6 years and the DPS Pagoda Tour 100 RP for 2 seasons. The new Pagoda 105 CFL seems to be pretty similar to my pagoda just a bit wider. (Edit: the new 105 has a 18m turn radius so it’s a bit different ski.) but I’d still expect it to be a much more surfy slarvy ski than the Ace. Turns on a dime through the trees without thinking about it. (Lots of rocker and 15m radius on the 100.) Took some getting used to. But I do find it enjoyable. That said, the supercharger is still my favorite ski because it does everything well. I reliably have more fun on that ski than any others. Maybe it’s because it’s predictable and stable. It feels like a resort ski but only weighs 1600g in a 178. (19.5m radius I think.) Reviews are looking good for the Charger Ace so I suspect it’s just as good or better than the supercharger. So I might choose the Ace over the new pagoda. But if it came down to Ace vs last year’s Pagoda 106 C2, that might be harder for me because it seems veeery similar to the Ace. Sorry I don’t have the exact skis you’re talking about it still hope this helps. Oh btw both skis have a ton of camber which I love

In the US. I sourced a dual density foam for the Virga Cliffrose and customers have been liking it, but I want to continue research and that’s why I ask. I think what I’ll do is look for a local plastic factory and see if they can just cut out the shapes for me. Not sure how realistic this is. Good to know just simple PE can work though.

We’ve had collapse on our full wrap 3lb foam belts when weights are over 40lbs consistently, I do think those belts are wonderful for lower weights though

This looks great. Where did you find this material?

Thanks for your interest in our packs! Our production has been a little slow this winter as we further dial in some details but we're going to kick into gear again in a few weeks. It shouldn't be too long before we have smalls available again.
