Hi Everyone,

The future of soft snow skiing gear includes the modified reverse camber ski such as the Lotus 138. Unlike the Spat, the Lotus has a center section of the ski which is very slightly cambered and with a very slight sidecut of 140-138-139. The ski does feature a reverse camber section in the front and the back.

The platform is much more stable on firm snow than a Spatula, so that the Lotus can be skied in transit to the deep stuff without the standing-on-a-dish feeling of the Spatula. Like the Spatula the skier does not have to counteract any tip dive and can balance on the balls of the feet in all soft snow conditions.

I'm speculating based on design of course, but I will be on the Spats soon and that will be an interesting day!

Cheers,

Michael
