    The Nina A99 might just be the smoothest ski I've ever been on. I skied it in mid November, when conditions weren't the greatest. It cuts through crud like butter and holds an edge well on ice. I'm a playful skier, and I like playful skis, so I was worried the Alchemist construction might be too stiff for me, but man was I wrong. It was incredibly easy to turn and still didn't take away from stability. I'm not saying the Nina A99 changed my life, but I'm not saying it didn't. I'm 5'8" and skied on the 168cm.

    Our Take On The 2019 DPS Nina A99 Alchemist:

    No one can promise that you'll like a particular ski. If someone makes that claim, they're either a charlatan or a lunatic. That being said, if you're a lady ripper who values do-everything versatility in her big mountain skis, I'd be very surprised to hear you dislike the Nina 99. A svelte 99mm width is ideal for women who ski all over the mountain: it's wide enough to float in untracked snow, and quicker edge-to-edge on groomers than its acclaimed, fatter sister, the Yvette 112. The Nina 99 is particularly electric in bumps and trees, where its lightning-fast turn initiation makes those tight spaces less nerve-jangling. The value of a versatile 100mm-wide ski is no secret to big mountain skiers, and the Nina 99 is queen of the category.

    Alchemist is the next step in the evolution of DPS's groundbreaking Pure3 carbon skis and the finest example of their relentless pursuit of innovation. The Alchemist construction uses vibration-tuned aerospace carbon and premium Aspen wood cores for a smoother ride and more progressive flex, without compromising the power and precision skiers have come to expect from DPS carbon skis. The end result is the ultimate piece of lightweight versatility.

    Core: Aspen wood with pure prepreg carbon fiber
