Just looking at them... really small radius for such a fat ski. That's one humongous tip too. Basically a fatter DPS112 Tour1?

A 181 Caylor is at 24m and they're playful but also stable. I wouldn't see this as a charger so much as, yeah, a really fat 112RP.

It's the pricing that gets me every time
It's like a Porsche. Nice to consider occasionally but can never buy itI need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....

Like to see a camber pic, don't understand the description

If it snows enough this season to justify even dreaming of 124mm skis I'll be happy to be outraged about the price at that time.

this ^^ IMO the very cool thing about the lotus 120 is I could let them run and do 38M radius turns or slarve them down to sliding sideways like a fucking snowboarder so personaly I would not want a fatter wailer 112, so the question in my mind IS did they dummy the lotus 120 down to where this is just a "doctor ski"
I have noticed people will make "the comment" about the sexy Lamborghini yellow 112 but have absolutely no fucking clue about the lotus 120 and what it is
edit: published spec s don't say anything about tip rocker IME the 60cm tip rocker of the Lotus 120 is superiour to the 45cm wailer tip rocker and I can't see what kind of tail (flat or upturned) , so publishing a 23 M turning radius is what make s me wonder if this is a 3 D design ...

It's because only doctors can afford a $1300 ski. The dims seem like semi pintailed but fat tip. Rich mans megawatt? What I don't get is the evolution costing so much. On3p evolved boot forward RR for a reasonable price. It's like they only want a certain clientele. If heli ops are like this then I'll just cat ski. The description really does not say what shape the ski is, should I just trust them with my $1300? I can get three pairs for that, demo, sell two and cat ski. I just don't get the business model unless they don't want me to get it . That's a good plan just price out the common man and then the common man goes elsewhere. Off to my $2 taco....
I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....

Dreamtime occurred 6 weeks ago, when Gear Coop unloaded their DPS stock on Amazon.

^ You're almost two months late to the party. Many Pure2 & Hybrid 138's, Pure2 120's, and Spoons found new homes.

I got their 15/16 catalog today and it doesn't mention anything about these either.

Looks like a silly ski. I don't get DPS.

07-07-2015, 12:30 PM #23The Powderworks Lotus 124:We have been immersed deep in the R+D lab over the past few months. The hunt for ski perfection has begun anew: this time at more elemental levels as we search for axiomatic relationships between shape and flex pattern.
The first Powderworks ski to emerge from those efforts is a Lotus concept that combines some of our new geometric discoveries with a quest for ultimate versatility in a 120mm powder shape.
We have drawn positive cues from all across the current quiver: effective edge geometry drawn from the Wailer 105, paddle tech and rocker from the Wailer 112, boot-to-overall length balance of the original Lotus 120, and a new sidecut/taper angle combined with a radically new flex pattern.
The design results in a balanced ski that elegantly walks the tightrope between a deeply rockered/paddle design and a directional, flat-tailed Lotus 120/Wailer105 driven design. We are aiming for the best of both worlds in a 120mm class pow stick that will be able to perform double duty in mixed snow.
With the Powderworks Lotus 124, you are skiing the cutting edge of our exploratory thoughts – a novel new platform on the hunt for everyday powder shape perfection – enjoy.
Sounds like a great ski for skiing on the "cutting edge of exploratory thoughts". Still, I prefer to ski on snow.Move upside and let the man go through...

"Getting" DPS or using them on snow, sure isn't hard for me.
The two pairs I have are nothing less than spectacular at what they are intended to do. Lotus 138 (p3 spooned version) can pivot quickly in the trees but still just keeps getting better the faster you go on it.
RPC is also nothing less than awesome. It does have a few limitations, but so does pretty much any other ski.
I don't doubt that this new ski is good, but description sure do need some work.Last edited by LiveLarger; 07-07-2015 at 01:52 PM.

^^^ Yup. I've lent out my old 2006? Wailer 95s to maybe 5 people, and they all came back saying they were incredible. I like my other 2 pairs as well.
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
