Michale, JBotti:

...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?

Hi Jim,

My narrative is going out on a limb somewhat when I described the camber on the Lotus. DP describes a "center section" in all their dims. I have read blogs that allude to a flat or slightly cambered area under the bindings. I should let JB discuss...

Cheers,

Michael
