From there, sidecut radius tells you how the ski wants to turn (shorter = tighter arcs), and weight hints at whether it's built for the resort or the skin track. Every ski below shows the manufacturer's own published geometry, independently cross-checked before we publish it — and where the manufacturer doesn't publish a number, we show a dash instead of a guess.
