2027 DPS Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 Powder Touring Skis

If you're going to carry 117 mm underfoot to the top of a mountain, the skiing better be worth it. The Lotus Tour 117 delivers the float and surfy feel of a proper powder ski while keeping the weight reasonable for earning those turns. It's specialized, absolutely—but on a deep day, that's exactly what we want.

Consider Another Option If

Consider another option if you want your touring ski to cover firm snow, spring objectives and everyday conditions as comfortably as powder. The Lotus Tour 117 is unapologetically specialized for deep snow; a narrower Pagoda Tour CFL will make more sense as a versatile daily touring ski.

• 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.
