I have a pair of wood veneered skis, they have a tiger on them, but only if worn on the correct feet, oh and his eye is pearlescent.
OBVIOUSLY this would not make me a gear queen  |
Those are, quite literally, the most beautiful skis I've ever seen!
How do they ski?

ssh, No Idea yet I'm afraid,
Have heard some reputable recommendations and Blister compared them to the Blizzard Cochise and Moment Bibby Pro, both amazing, haul-ass fast BC skis. Plus with its Carbon layers it is surprisingly light (sub 2 kg!!) so they have been mounted with Dynafit Radicals to fit my new Vulcan boots... 
All in all, I have never been this excited to try out a new set-up, Really hope we get on because (aside from the money I have blown), you can't own a veneered ski AND ride like a punter! I'll just end up looking like a Russian oil tychoon's discarded son!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

dulcamara, well, well! Then, it seems, you must put on many miles of BC skiing to make sure they live up to the expectations...!

Arno, Never heard of DPS ski's before so google'd them. theres a choice of some ski's in different construction! how do you have a ski with a choice of construction ie carbon or fibreglass - surely they must perform different and therefore should have a different name or is that why they are the price they are because they are made to perform the same.
maybe i need to understand more about what makes DPS ski's special.

Same as last couple of years for me:
Stockli DP Pro + 193cm (101mm) - with Look Pivot 18 XXL's - love these skis on anything and my go to ski
PM Gear 191 Fat's (117mm ish I think) carbon ones - uber stiff - with FKS 18 XXL's - use these on deeper days or when I'm planning on hiking etc
Boots the same Lange Super Banshee's with Zipfits .. love these too. Heat them up every night with special bag. New boots every day

So, picking up my new skis today.
So it brings me to a 3 ski quiver (plus some very old one luvs if its very rocky early season, but they are floppy and I don't like them ):
Dynastar Exclusive Elite light 153s- Skinny ish skis for carving Nakiska hardpack
Dynastar something else with 85 mm waist, 158s
New skis Rossignol Saffron 7 162
I was talked up on the binding to a 'knee binding' and we'll see how that goes

How are those Dynastars, gryphea? I'm looking at new skis for my wife and these are an option. Then we can do his'n'hers with my Course TIs
