DPS Wailer 99 (2013)
Tester's Review
The Wailer 99 takes much of the tech of the Testers' Choice-winning Wailer 112RP full-carbon construction, short turn radius, spoonlike rockered tip and implements it in a narrower package. Testers loved its ability to play everywhere: crud, bumps, backwoods, even, with enough angulation, groomers. Plus, its lightweight construction had one tester calling it the "ultimate Colorado backcountry ski."
PRICE (MSRP): $1249.00
