Any one have any experience riding these or know if this particular ski could handle park? I'm not paying the close to 1000 dollar price but i read some forums of others saying they would never ruin a dps ski in the park. My main concern is I don't know much about them and have been having trouble finding any information. Also can anyone identify model/year?

All those helpful get +K

i wouldnt trust them in the park, i dont imagine dps uses very thick edges to cut down on weight

this and i wouldn't use them either. same reason i'd probably be hesitant in using those new kastle skis. unless they're reasonably priced.

actually DPS markets them as a park ski

Looks really directional for a park ski.

dps's generally aren't good on hardpack, although the casslar seems to be the exception to that. i own wailer 105's and they suck on groomers and i would never take them in the park. mainly because they're mounted with dynafits, but an 8 pound pair of skis probably isn't gonna be too fun on hard landings
