The Pagoda Lotus 124 improves upon DPS’ storied and rich powder ski heritage. With a tapered tip that is reminiscent of proven DPS designs of the past, and its relatively low and gradual rocker, this is the ideal tool for the experienced powder skier looking to plane to the snow’s surface quickly. Based on 15-plus years of testing, the well-balanced flex profile is optimised to encourage large radius surfy turns in open powder fields and stomping high-speed airs. equally at home when ducking into your favourite secret stash in the woods, turn shapes can quickly be shortened when nimble reactivity is needed. When the days are deep and the stoke is high, it’s time to reach for ‘Big Red’.Terrain Type & Ability LevelTerrain Type The Lotus 124 is a dedicated powder ski. One to bring out when the conditions are on and you want to amplify all the feelings.Skier TypeGood skiers who want a pure powder ski to add to the quiver.OverviewShapeLotus-shaped skis embody the quest for the perfect powder turn. They feature larger turn radii that encourage big, sweeping turns, elongated rocker lines that allow the skis to quickly plane to the surface and pivot easily, and fat waist widths that generate the floatation and speed desired by experienced powder pilots. These skis were created to make the absolute most out of every powder turn.RockerRocker at the tip and tail equates to 45% rocker, 55% effective edge. Sounds like a lot but it works perfectly with the shaping. The camber underfoot makes the most of the carbon construction and stable 23m radius.CoreThe horizontally laminated core uses aspen next to the edges with another hard wood, ash, laid in the middle, over the top of the lighter paulownia. This mix of 3 woods provides exactly the right blend of strength, weight, and durability. Above and below this are the propriety carbon laminates that give DPS skis their unique feeling.ConstructionThe DPS R&D team have engineered a construction with a horizontally combined core, innovative new sidewall technology and carbon layers to produce a supremely damp and stable platform. The result is a breakthrough in on-snow feel that combines both excitement and liveliness, with simultaneous dampness and control.eB tester’s comments: Mark (Trainer) Floatation is second to none. The shape provides a surfy, relaxed feel on soft snow and it’s surprisingly manoeuvrable in case you need to chuck in a few tighter turns, but their sweet spot is fast wide-open turns in the deepest snow you can find.Size (cm)Tip Width (mm)Waist Width (mm)Tail Width (mm)Radius (m)Weight (g)185141124131231950191142124132232110General InformationSkier Ability: expertRocker: Tip/Tail RockerRadius: LongBase: SinteredBindings: Ski sold flatDIN: n/aConstruction: Mini Cap Full SidewallCore: Wood, CarbonDemo: NoSizing Description: Forehead to over head height.
