I came back to say I love my new DPS Pagoda 94 C2. I am very happy with my purchase! I got the purple model and yes, they are beautiful with the Pivot Gold bindings and Look Pivots are a great binding for me so far. I have skied 4 days on them, 3 days at Whiteface and 1 days at Jack Frost. The conditions ranged from softer snow in 40F weather to the mix of powder and scraped off "Iceface" slopes at Whiteface in 15-20F weather. I never wished I was on a narrower ski, they carve very nicely for a ski that is wider, also I love how easy it is to pivot/smear them. The tails release so easily, these are great when the soft snow gets bumped up towards the end of the day. I look forward skiing them in bumps when we have actual bump runs. They do great on groomers (even firmer ones!) and a little bit of powder I caught at Whiteface. I think this is the most versatile ski I have ever skied; it may become my daily driver even in the East or at least for warmer days in the East. I love how easygoing and comfortable they are!
The performance in soft crud and chop is probably to be expected from these but I was amazed how well they behaved on icy patches, very composed response for a ski with 94 mm width. I wasn't trying to edge hard on ice or anything, but still, no chatter not sliding out.
ETA: Thank you
@Tricia and
@Wendy for recommendation on these skis.
