Ski of the day: DPS Yvette 112 RP

With our big interview feature in the new Ski Buyer’s Bible 2013 issue on Australia’s #1 big mountain female skier Natalie Segal we thought it appropriate we should lead off our coverage of 194 skis with the ladies’ Big Mountain boards.

So today’s choice from that selection is the gorgeous DPS Yvette 112RP, the new lady version of their award-winning Wailer 112. It’s hot pink and skis hot, blending the surf feel of full rocker with aggressive sidecut and bit of camber underfoot to bite and grip hard whenever required. These will smash groomed and slush downunder, or you can take ‘em tree skiing in J-land, dropping into steeps at Revelstoke or wherever, with a versatile 141-112-128 shape. Lengths 168, 178. Availabe in full carbon ‘Pure’ or ‘Hybrid’ constructions. Check them out at a DPS stockist like Bumps in Melbourne soon; they offer a huge range of ladies’ skis (just like our Buyer’s Bible!)  – www.bumps.com.au
