The Blizzard Zero G 105 is the best heavy-ish all-around backcountry ski we have used in recent years. It does everything very well, especially considering its weight. At 1500 grams, there are many lighter options on the market, but the ones we've tested ski more poorly than the Blizzard. Going the other direction, one must tack on a couple hundred grams of mass before matching or exceeding the ski performance of this award winner. 
Weight to performance ratio is the real and definitive measure of an all-around ski for human-powered use. In that matrix, this Blizzard shares the top of the heap. For a long time, we have picked two highest award winners; one super light and the other "normal" light. The Zero G 105 is the "normal light" award winner. The primary compromise in its performance is in firm snow. It doesn't grip quite as smoothly or confidently as we would like in an all-around ski. It does well enough, but this is the drawback we have to comment on.

 Super handy, nice little design for the skin so I highly recommend those. With the Zero Gs they do have of course a nice early rise in the tips. We've got some generous camber, moderate camber underfoot and in the tail we've got a slight up rise as well. So these are the Zero G 105s, I'm 180 pounds, I ski on the 188, 6 foot tall, 6 foot 1

 I've been skiing the 105s for two seasons now. I got a pre-production model and tested them for a year and then wrote the review and I've been skiing on them all this year as well. So the new thing with the Zero G skis is the carbon drive 2.0 construction

 So great and variable snow conditions. The Zero Gs also use a rounded 3D top edge design. So you can see that on the top edge here and that reportedly reduces the ski weight by about 15%. There is also a skin notch in the tip and also in the tail of the ski as you can see and you can buy pre-cut mocha skins

 We've got some generous camber, moderate camber underfoot and in the tail we've got a slight up rise as well. So these are the Zero G 105s, I'm 180 pounds, I ski on the 188, 6 foot tall, 6 foot 1. The 180 was a little small so I do find the 188 to be an ideal size for me. They do come in a 164, 172, 180 and 188 centimeter lengths

 Hey skiers, it's Bob with SkiEssentials.com. Welcome to our 2023 ski test. Got a DPS Pagoda Tour 94 for you today with the C2 shaping

 It's pretty amazing whenever we see a cutout of these skis just kind of how you push your finger into that foam and it does not budge at all. So really high performance, high quality foam, very dense, very strong and also quite light. Then they use their two carbon laminates top and bottom like they do in most of their other skis and that gives the ski its nice stiff performance but keeping the weight pretty darn light. This is the 178, they're calling it 1430 grams, so definitely less than that 1500 gram threshold that we usually talk about for a touring specific ski

 They also use their aerospace foam in there, so sandwiched in between those wood stringers. We see these strips of foam, really really dense material but super light. It's pretty amazing whenever we see a cutout of these skis just kind of how you push your finger into that foam and it does not budge at all. So really high performance, high quality foam, very dense, very strong and also quite light

 So we've seen a lot of these kind of hybrid style skis or models that are based off of an Alpine counterpart like a Nordica Enforcer Unlimited or a Blizzard Hustle based off of their Rustler or Enforcer series skis taking an existing shape and simply making it lighter and opening up touring as a potential application while keeping things that a lot of skiers liked about the skis. So not only retaining that existing customer, but also getting someone new in here that might just want something lighter and better suited for touring, even some in-bounds resort style skiing. So this Pagoda 94 Tour is a great example of DPS's version of that. What they've done here is use their tour construction

2023 DPS Pagoda Tour 94 C2 - SkiEssentials.com Ski Test

 The added weight makes it more stable when things get chunky and allows for less deflection and better skiability compared to UL (ultralight) 90-100 mm equivalents (like the Movement Alp Tracks 95 or the Fischer Hannibal 96). The Pagoda Tour is 100-200 grams heavier than the mentioned UL touring options, and I appreciate the added weight in exchange for the added downhill confidence. The most similar ski to the Pagoda Tour 94 C2 is the Salomon MTN 95. They are both light, but not too light

 Size close to your nose height for weight savings and better dexterity in tight terrain. Size to close to the top of your head for more stability at high speeds and more float in deeper snow.

With that field testing anecdote in mind, I have a few more points to address. The Pagoda Tour construction makes this ski lightweight, but not ultralight. The added weight makes it more stable when things get chunky and allows for less deflection and better skiability compared to UL (ultralight) 90-100 mm equivalents (like the Movement Alp Tracks 95 or the Fischer Hannibal 96). The Pagoda Tour is 100-200 grams heavier than the mentioned UL touring options, and I appreciate the added weight in exchange for the added downhill confidence

 There are obviously other 90-100 mm options that I’m curious to engage in discussion about in the comments below. If interested in the 94 C2, I would size it from nose height to top-of-head height. Size close to your nose height for weight savings and better dexterity in tight terrain. Size to close to the top of your head for more stability at high speeds and more float in deeper snow
