The DPS Lotus 117 skis carry a nearly even camber and rocker split, tapering dramatically toward the tip and tail so the ski floats through deep snow without giving up a tight, capable turn. A poplar wood core paired with dual carbon laminates keeps the build light for its volume while adding the strength to push into aggressive, technical lines rather than just riding straight and fast. A World Cup Race Base with pre-installed Phantom Treatment rounds out a construction built for advanced and expert skiers who want more than a straight-line powder float. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I dropped into a bowl that had already gotten tracked out, and the Lotus 117 still carved a clean arc through the chopped-up snow instead of getting knocked off line. That kind of hold when conditions go from perfect to mediocre is what tells me the camber underfoot is doing real work, not just the rocker up front."
