Features
Since its inception, the 112 has been the ski that defined everyday powder performance. Loved, copied, and endlessly evolved. It became the shape skiers trusted when the snow stacked up, but the mountain still demanded versatility. The Lotus 112 is the focused evolution of that idea: a ski purpose-built to deliver its very best in powder. And for that reason, the 112 now belongs in the Lotus family.
The Lotus 112 carries the unmistakable feel that made the 112 famous, easy planing, smooth turn initiation, and a natural rhythm in soft snow, but with even easier initiation and release. This is a ski that will feel deeply familiar, yet unmistakably refined.
The Lotus 112 is built for skiers who want a true powder-first ski they can reach for again and again. Storm days, post-storm leftovers, wide-open bowls, and playful terrain all fall squarely in its wheelhouse. The 112 is the ski you trust when powder is the plan, but not the only variable. For many skiers, this was the ski that changed how they thought about powder ten years ago. This is the version that reminds you why.
Over years of iteration, from early Wailer shapes to the Kaizen generation, the 112 gradually drifted toward all-mountain versatility. The Lotus 112 brings it back home. Refined rocker lines, balanced taper, and a powder-forward shape prioritize float, smooth transitions, and effortless release. Every design choice is tuned to enhance planing speed, directional control, and flow in soft snow—without the distractions of trying to be everything else.
This ski represents the clearest expression of what the 112 was always meant to be.

AI FAQs
AI generated FAQs about the Lotus 112 Yellow
Can I use this ski for lift-served resort days as well, or is it really only built for touring?
The Lotus 112 is a backcountry/touring ski with resort use marked as no. It is a powder-first tool for storm days, soft-snow leftovers, wide-open bowls, and playful terrain rather than lift-served resort use.
How does this ski perform on firmer morning snow versus deep afternoon powder?
The Lotus 112 is purpose-built for deep, soft snow, using a 112mm waist and full-rockered profile to maximize float and easy turn initiation. Its powder-first shape is not designed to prioritize firmer-snow or all-mountain performance, so it shines most when the snow is soft rather than scraped-off or icy.
Is this ski forgiving enough for someone still building their off-piste skills, or does it reward a more aggressive skier?
The Lotus 112 carries smooth turn initiation and easy planing that make it approachable for skiers still building off-piste confidence in soft snow. Its refined rocker lines and balanced taper favor easy, effortless release over demanding a highly aggressive, hard-charging style.
How does the waist width affect what kind of snow and terrain this ski is best suited for?
The Lotus 112 has a 112 mm waist and a full-rockered shape that promotes float and easy turn initiation. That platform is tuned for powder skiing, including storm days, post-storm soft snow, wide-open bowls, and playful terrain.
How often will I need to tune or wax this ski to keep it performing well in the backcountry?
The Lotus 112 has factory-applied Phantom Glide treatment for fast, long-lasting, low-maintenance glide on snow. It also has a precision base tune and structure tailored to each ski.
How does the edge hold up on icy sidehills and hard-packed wind-loaded slopes?
The Lotus 112 uses Rockwell 48 steel edges, an optimized hardness level for lasting sharpness, durability, and reliable grip in all conditions. This edge construction is designed to retain dependable grip as backcountry snow conditions change.
