The DPS Lotus 112 is a powder ski with history behind it and a very clear job in front of it. Built around the shape that helped define everyday powder performance, this version brings the 112 back to where it belongs: soft snow, storm days, post-storm leftovers, open bowls, and playful terrain.
Why we like it:
- 112mm waist gives it true powder-first float and planing speed
- 15m turn radius is unusually quick for a ski this wide, making it remarkably easy to maneuver around the mountain
- Quick enough to come across the fall line and make shorter turns when terrain gets tight
- More comfortable on firmer snow and getting back to the lift than you might expect from a 112mm powder ski
- Full carbon construction keeps it light, lively, and responsive
- Refined rocker lines make turn initiation smooth and intuitive
- Balanced taper helps it release easily when slashing, smearing, or changing direction
- Built for storm days, post-storm leftovers, bowls, trees, and playful terrain
- Phantom Glide base treatment adds long-term glide performance with less day-to-day maintenance

At 112mm underfoot, the Lotus has the width and shape to plane easily in deep snow, but what makes it especially interesting is its 15m turn radius. That is remarkably quick for a ski this wide, giving the Lotus an ability to come across the fall line, change direction, and maneuver around the mountain that you don’t typically expect from a dedicated powder ski. When the snow gets skied out or you find yourself back on firmer terrain, it still feels intuitive and manageable underfoot.
Refined rocker lines and balanced taper make turn initiation easy and release effortless, so the ski feels loose when you want to smear, slash, and drift, but composed when you need directional control. Full carbon construction keeps it light, energetic, and responsive, while the Phantom Glide base treatment adds long-term glide performance with less day-to-day maintenance.
This is still a powder-first ski, and proudly so. But it is one you can grab on a storm morning knowing the whole mountain is still in play.
