this site explains the math behind how sidecuts, turning, and skier speed works. I will be happy to summarize if someone doesn't understand a particular section. Enjoy!

For those of you looking more into the tech aspects of skiing, epicski is a good site to get information off of. Basically a newschools equivalent to the racing world, where these statistics are far more important.

You guys need to start looking at effective edge length. That's what really matters on twins.

^Yeah no shit. That thought hadn't even begun to cross my mind until a couple months ago when a racer mentioned it to me. It seems like there would be more talk about this.

Effective edge length is already taken into consideration and is why people tend to ride twins longer than a regular ski, that and the forward mount point on most of them now.
Don't act like youre all prophetic and mighty when all youre really doing is looking back on something that has been taken into account long ago.
