The 2026 DPS Pisteworks 94 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is a precision-engineered, carbon-fueled frontside ski designed to deliver race-inspired precision without the weight of metal laminates. With a 94 mm waist, low rocker profile, and long effective edge, it offers confidence-inspiring edge hold, rebound, and energy on firm snow. Whether you’re laying trenches on corduroy or opening it up on steep, hardpack pitches, the Pisteworks 94 brings elite-level carving power to the resort. We paired the Pisteworks 94 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

This ski is all about energy and technical precision. The carbon chassis delivers lightning-fast response and edge hold, while still feeling smooth underfoot. For expert skiers who love to push the limits of carving, it's hard to top the Pisteworks 94 for grip and energy.

Who it's for:

Ideal for advanced to expert skiers who charge groomers and love the feel of a directional ski that responds instantly to input. If you're a technician at heart who values rebound and grip more than looseness or freestyle flair, this ski is for you.

Highlights:

A progressively tuned turn radius (18 to 20 meters depending on size) allows for clean GS-style arcs, while the full carbon layup keeps the ski quick and energetic. The recycled Carbon Power Plate adds muscle underfoot for better edge contact and energy transfer, without adding unnecessary bulk. With only 27% rocker and three-quarters effective edge, the Pisteworks 94 keeps you locked in through the turn, offering the kind of power and control that frontside purists crave. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

The Pisteworks 94 is not built for float or surfy skiing—it’s tuned for hard snow, speed, and strong technique. Lighter or more playful skiers may find it a bit too serious for laid-back cruising or softer snow days.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Skis true to size. For max stability and top-speed confidence, go with your longer length. For a quicker, more agile feel and enhanced turn initiation, especially in tighter terrain, consider sizing down slightly.
