Skin up, ski down, and leave the lift lines behind on the Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 Ski
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I skinned up a ridge before sunrise on the Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 Ski to beat the rope drop crowd entirely, and the climb felt shockingly light for a 117 underfoot. Once I dropped in, the carbon and flax layup held its own through untracked powder without ever feeling flimsy."
Getting up before the sun and skinning past the rope drop line is its own reward, and the DPS Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 Ski is built for exactly that pursuit. Break trail into an untouched bowl while the resort crowd waits for the first chair, and the Lotus 117 shape floats through deep snow the same way it always has, just without the weight you'd expect from something this capable.
A paulownia wood core paired with a carbon fiber and flax laminate keeps the ski light on the way up without sacrificing stability on the way down, and the factory applied Phantom Glide base treatment means you're ready to go even weeks removed from the wax bench. The partial twin tip and 45% tip and tail rocker help this ski stay playful in the powder, not just efficient on the climb.

Frequently Asked Questions
What length of the DPS Skis Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 should I choose for my height and ability?
The 171 cm suits beginner/intermediate skiers around 162–175 cm tall, while the 178 cm covers several height and ability ranges, including advanced skiers around 162–175 cm. The 185 cm is listed for intermediate/advanced skiers around 172–193 cm; when between recommendations, prioritize stability with the longer option or maneuverability with the shorter one.How does the Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 float in deep powder?
Its 117 mm waist, 45% tip and tail rocker, and rocker/camber/rocker profile are built for flotation and maneuverability in deep snow. Across the 171, 178, and 185 cm lengths, the dimensions are 138 / 117 / 124 mm, 139 / 117 / 125 mm, and 140 / 117 / 127 mm, respectively.What makes the DPS Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 suited to ski touring?
The Pagoda Tour construction pairs a paulownia core with a Carbon Flax laminate and Super Sap bio-resin to keep the build light for climbs. The available weight guidance is approximately 1,525–1,675 g per ski, depending on length.What touring bindings and skins fit the Powderworks Lotus Tour 117?
Use alpine-touring boots with compatible tech/pin bindings, and choose brakes sized for the ski’s 117 mm waist; approximately 117–127 mm brakes are recommended in the fitment guidance. Skins around 130 mm wide or wider can cover the broad tip before trimming to the sidecut.How does the Powderworks Lotus Tour 117 handle variable snow and turns?
The 21 m turn radius and 117 mm waist favor open terrain and powder, while HRC 48 steel edges are designed for variable conditions. Its raised tail and partial twin-tip shape support playful descents, though the wide platform is less efficient on firm traverses and narrow terrain.
