2027 DPS Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 Powder Touring Skis

We like the Lotus Tour 117 as a deliberate powder-day choice. It brings the Lotus family’s surf-inspired shape to touring for skiers who already know which conditions they are chasing.

Consider Another Option If

Choose a narrower touring ski if firm snow, spring conditions and everyday versatility matter as much as deep powder.

• Deep-snow and powder-focused ski touring
• Storm days and big backcountry powder objectives
• Skiers who prioritize flotation and a surfy feel
• Open terrain where longer turns can be enjoyed
• Skiers looking for a dedicated powder touring setup

• Lotus Powder Shape: A wide 117 mm platform provides the surface area for serious flotation when the snow gets deep.
• Generous Rocker & Tapered Pintail: Helps the ski plane quickly, stay centred in soft and variable snow, and release easily through turns.
• Softer Touring Flex: Compared with the in-bounds Lotus 117, the Tour version uses a softer flex designed to make the ski easier and more surfy in deep backcountry snow.
• Carbon Flax Construction: DPS's Pagoda Tour CFL layup combines carbon with flax fibres to keep weight down while adding damping to the ski.
• Paulownia Core: Lightweight wood core helps reduce the effort required on long ascents.
• Phantom Glide Treatment: Factory-applied treatment provides long-lasting glide with minimal maintenance.
• 4000-Series World Cup Base: Durable base material with a precision factory tune and structure.
