Pisteworks 79 Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I never thought I’d find a carving ski that felt this lively and stable without the weight of metal. The Pisteworks 79 completely redefined groomer days for me—it's like having a race ski that’s more forgiving and more fun."

Born from the mind of Olympic champion Ted Ligety and built with aerospace-grade carbon technology, the DPS Pisteworks 79 brings an entirely new experience to high-performance frontside carving. It’s the narrowest, quickest-turning ski in DPS’s lineup, purpose-built for slicing perfect arcs on hardpack. But this isn’t your typical stiff metal carver. Instead, the Pisteworks 79 channels dynamic control through a compliant carbon laminate, creating a ride that’s both exhilarating and approachable.

Every detail of the ski is engineered for power transfer and feel. A 13.5-meter turn radius provides instant edge engagement, while the Carbon Power Plate—crafted from recycled Fairmat® carbon fiber—sends energy directly to the snow with explosive results. It’s planted when you push, snappy when you release, and stable no matter how icy the terrain. For skiers of all levels seeking edge-to-edge agility, this ski blends the best of race-bred performance with playful freedom, all handcrafted in Salt Lake City.
