Nice to get these planks into the quiver for 2012-2013.
Dimensions 125/99/111 (176 cm length), weight 52.3 (1482 gr). That is LIGHT for a fully performing 176 cm ski that’s 99 at the waist. (Note these are the Pure2 construction, which is lighter than the Pure3). Compare in our backcountry skiing gear weight chart.
DPS Wailer came in a zippered plastic envelope instead of the usual shrink wrap. I've unzipped better things over the years, but this was the first time I've gotten to unzip skis.
See Bob Perlumtter’s previous take on these planks.
