Ski geometry

Different geometry at skis for backcountry skiing (top), allmountain skis and piste skis for carve turns.

Modern powder skis are much wider than on-piste designs. This example has noticeable rocker shaping at the tip and tail, while retaining some camber and sidecut.

Parabolic skis for slalom racing (left) and for piste carving (middle), skis with little sidecut for giant slalom racing (right).

Today, radius and sidecut data is often printed on skis.

Ski geometry is the shape of the ski. Described in the direction of travel, the front of the ski, typically pointed or rounded, is the tip, the middle is the waist and the rear is the tail. Skis have four aspects define their basic performance: length, width, sidecut and camber. Skis also differ in more minor ways to address certain niche roles. For instance, skis for moguls are much softer to absorb shocks from the quick and sharp turns of the moguls and skis for powder are much wider to provide more "float" in deeper, softer snow.
