New ski terminology:
Skis now are measured ~5 ways.
Length, like always.
Tip width
Waist(middle of ski) width
Tail width
All of the above gives you a turn radius.
The 63s I have, have a very short 11m turn radius. Most skis have about a 17-20m turn radius. YOu can vary the measurements(by changing skis) to get the kind of turn you want in whatever conditions you find yourself in.
Eastern skis generally have a shorter turn radius than western skis and are shorter in length. Fatter skis generally float in powder snow conditions better than narrow ones.
Skiers come in all shapes and sizes
Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
