After its first release nearly 15 years ago, the Lotus 138 remains one of the most iconic skis ever created. At 138mm underfoot with full rocker, it’s a deliberate, uncompromising tool built for one purpose: skiing deep snow. This ski helped define a surf-inspired approach to powder skiing that still feels singular today.

The Lotus 138 is smooth, loose, and expressive, encouraging a banking, drifting turn style that feels more like surfing than skiing. It thrives on flow and creativity, rewarding skiers who let the ski plane, slash, and float naturally rather than forcing a traditional carve.

This ski is for skiers who plan their day around powder. From storm riding to heli laps and sleeper days when conditions align, the Lotus 138 delivers an unmatched powder experience. It’s intentionally niche, intentionally pure, and best enjoyed when the snow is bottomless and the terrain is wide open.

With a massive 138mm waist and 32m turn radius, the Lotus 138 maximizes planing speed and effortless float. The long, tapered shape and full rocker profile promotes smooth transitions and easy release, allowing the ski to surf across snow rather than cut through it. Every design choice serves the same goal: elevating the apex powder moment.
