Michale, JBotti:

Let me make sure we are using the same terminology.
Cambered ski.  Sitting flat on the floor, the center bows up off of the floor.
Reverse cambered.  Sitting flat on the floor, the ski make a smile with the tip and tail curving up.

Michael's description of the Lotus is interesting, and I didn't get it from the web page.  It sounds almost like a 'normal'  shorter ski with reverse cambered tips and tails added.  You primarily ski the center section on firm snow, and then the reverse cambered tip (and tail) helps to exert even more decambering force on the main ski body (relative to a normal ski) because of it's angle of attack into the snow?  So you decamber the entire ski at lower speeds?

JB, what caused you to select the 'dps' line and the Lotus out of the line?
