DPS Powderworks Lotus Tour

While the 117mm waist is optimized for deep snow, the carbon and flax laminate construction provides enough dampness and stability to handle variable conditions. It is designed to be a versatile backcountry tool that remains predictable when you encounter wind-buffed or firmer snow on the way down.

At approximately 1525g for the 178cm length, this ski is exceptionally lightweight for its size. The Paulownia wood core allows for efficient climbing without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for high-performance downhill skiing.

This ski is built for advanced to expert skiers who spend the majority of their time in the backcountry. It rewards a skier who understands how to manage a wider platform and appreciates a surfy, intuitive feel in soft snow.

Yes, the Phantom Treatment is a permanent, one-time application that eliminates the need for traditional glide wax. It provides consistent glide performance across a wide range of snow temperatures and conditions for the life of the ski base.

The flat tail provides a secure, predictable finish to your turns and adds stability when you are traversing or making kick turns in the backcountry. It also offers a reliable platform for anchoring the ski if you need to build a snow anchor or use the tails for stability in steep terrain.

The flax laminate is specifically included to dampen the vibration that carbon can sometimes produce. While it is not a dedicated carving ski, this combination offers a smooth, energetic ride that feels much calmer than traditional carbon-only constructions.
