DPS Skis

Ski Strap

The DPS Ski Strap is a specialized tool designed to keep your skis securely together during travel, especially in challenging environments like backcountry skiing. It helps prevent damage to your skis and makes it easier to carry them, ensuring a hassle-free experience when you're on the move.

Backcountry skiing involves skiing in unmarked and unpatrolled areas, which can be more challenging than skiing at a resort. It requires additional skills, knowledge of the terrain, and safety precautions. It's essential to be prepared with the right gear, including avalanche safety equipment, and to have a good understanding of the risks involved.

Bootpacks refer to the process of walking uphill in ski boots while carrying your skis. This technique is crucial in backcountry skiing, as it allows you to ascend mountains or hills before skiing down. Proper bootpacking techniques and equipment can make your climb easier and more efficient, enhancing your overall skiing experience.

Avalanche gear is critical for safety in backcountry skiing, where the risk of avalanches is higher. Essential items include beacons for locating buried individuals, shovels for digging out snow, and probes for searching. Having this gear can be life-saving, and it's important to know how to use it effectively before heading into the backcountry.

Stretch polyurethane is a flexible and durable synthetic material that can stretch without breaking. It's used in ski straps because it can withstand harsh outdoor conditions while providing a secure fit. This material ensures that your skis stay tightly together, making it ideal for the demands of skiing and travel.

To use a DPS Ski Strap, simply place your skis together with the bases facing each other. Wrap the strap around the skis, ensuring it is snug but not overly tight to avoid damaging the skis. The stretch polyurethane material will hold them securely in place, making it easy to carry your skis without them slipping apart.
