These are the model’s numbers, not measurements. Carve radius comes from the sidecut, so it does not change with weight; edge hold and float do. Flex and camber are our estimates (see “What the model uses” below).
By ability
The DPS Lotus 124 at 178 cm for a 90 kg skier on groomed snow. Reviewers are mostly experts, so read the left of each band for what most skiers get.
Edge hold
On firm snow, 178 cm- First-timer: slides (14%)
- Beginner: slides (30%)
- Intermediate: slides (52%), assumed level
- Advanced: on the limit (70%)
- Expert: on the limit (74%)
Float
In soft snow- First-timer: floats well (77%)
- Beginner: floats well (82%)
- Intermediate: floats well (86%), assumed level
- Advanced: floats well (93%)
- Expert: floats well (100%)
Ease
How forgiving it is- First-timer: manageable (75%)
- Beginner: easy (100%)
- Intermediate: easy (93%), assumed level
- Advanced: manageable (73%)
- Expert: manageable (65%)
Our model, run with working assumptions about how each level skis (edge angle, speed, how much weight reaches the edge). Not measurements. The marked cell assumes an intermediate skier; compare with your own details to see your own level.
