So we're still working on the ski design. And as usual, the mor I work with it, the more questions i see..
Here is what i got so far:
My questions now are:
- What are peoples experience and opinions with dual radius? I see that the big manufacturers have different solutions. Some manufcturers have a larger radius in the tail and smaler in the front and some have the oposite.
- Where should I put the turn center on this ski? Now it is at boot centre. As you see this makes the weight a little forward when on hard snow 81cm/(75cm+81cm) = 52%, while for powder the distribution is more like 54.5% which i think is a common distribution between front and back.
What about moving the turn centre 2 cm back and keep the boot centre at the same location? Will this then make the ski feel more right on hard stuff , without afecting the performance in powder?
