The DPS Foundation Koala 103 Skis 2023 are the perfect choice for skiers who want to take their freestyle game to the next level. With a fresh shape and flex pattern, these skis are designed to help you spin, butter, ollie, and transform side hits into your new best friends. But don't worry - DPS hasn't forgotten about the art of the turn. These skis offer a wonderful blend of power and dampness that's accessible to a wide range of skier profiles.

Key Features:

  • Supremely damp construction: The DPS Foundation Koala 103 Skis feature a powerful and durable construction that employs best-in-class components from start to finish. Triaxial fiberglass wraps the bamboo and poplar bi-phase wood core, while unidirectional carbon stringers add torsional stiffness.
  • Designed for freestyle: With their fresh shape and flex pattern, these skis are made for spinning, buttering, ollie-ing, and transforming side hits into your new best friends.
  • Accessible performance: Despite their focus on freestyle performance, these skis offer a wonderful blend of power and dampness that's readily accessible to a wide range of skier profiles.
  • Consistent design: Every model in the Foundation series shares DPS' C2 and RP chassis shaping that yields design and performance consistency from shape-to-shape and length-to-length.
  • Best-in-class components: From start-to-finish, weight was not a factor during the design process. The result is an on-snow feel that produces unparalleled power without sacrificing durability or responsiveness.

Justin steve owns this product
The DPS Koala 103 offers incredible edge hold on hard pack yet has plenty of tip and tail rocker to play in the deep, ungroomed terrain as well. The complex construction creates a damp yet lively ski that allows for a smooth ride when conditions are less than ideal but provides tons of energy through the turn. Additionally,... Read more

Marty G owns this product
The Koala 103 has become my go to ski for all but the deepest days around Jackson Hole. It skis everything really well and always has a little more to give just in case you want to push it to the limits. Chop and chunder? No problem! Groomers? Check! Bumped out steep lines? With ease!

Leo Cocchiara tested this product
This was my favorite ski I tested at WWSRA Demo Day 2023! I kept finding my expectations exceeded at every turn with the DPS Koala 103. The progressive rocker in the tip engaged the turns really nicely and was extremely stable at high speed on hard pack, while the camber underfoot gave me great bite and response. Little bit of...

Mark was amazing!
5 /5
I can't say enough good things about Mark! As a complete beginner to snowboarding, I was feeling overwhelmed by all the gear choices, but he made the process so much easier. Mark took the time to understand my skill level, budget, and needs, recommending the perfect board, boots, and bindings without pushing unnecessary upgrades. Not only was he knowledgeable, but also super patient and friendly, answering all my newbie questions and giving me great tips to start off right. Thanks to Mark, I feel confident and excited to hit the slopes! If you're new to snowboarding and need expert advice, I highly recommend him!

Friendly, kind and so helpful. Found my first new board fit for a beginner. Seperate from Brandon’s great service, we will see how the board works out for me when I receive it! Not necessarily any reflection on service or the company. Just depends on the board and it works out for me. Looking forward to getting out and giving it a go!

New to the world of snowboarding, and had no idea where to begin. Spencer was as solid as they come. He was patient, checked in as I navigated the last couple months determining if this was right for me. At the end of the day, I am super excited for my gear and get out there to learn this sport and explore New England more than I already do! Spencer is the bomb.

I pretty much started&ended my day browsing at Curated website and exchanging messages with Ian. I had a different choice in mind since the size i was looking for a specific snowboard is now longer available. Ive been snowboarding for about 15years now and I'm pretty picky with my gear. i was just gonna get bindings here and ended up getting both the bindings and snowboard! -Jay Y.

Sarah is super helpful and knowledgeable!
5 /5
Sarah was so great to work with :). She knew what to recommend right away once I told her about my experience, current setup, and what I’m looking for. She’s very responsive, accommodating and nice. Even better that she recommended items that were both good in quality and perfect for what I need, but also the best prices around. She sure felt like just an advisor who is happy to help - not sales-sy at all. I’m not surprised she is a top rated curator - it is well deserved! I won’t hesitate to consult with her again on my next setup. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to work with her :)
