Hey im using SNO CAD to design me some skis to build this year. Im 6'2" and i am gonna try to get them like Line Anthems. Im just wondering if any one has used SNO CAD and also any suggestions on what dimensions are good.

115-87-115 is legit (Volkl Wall, Afterbang)

anthems are 119-93-119

you should definitely get a symmetrical ski.

i've used it

are you planning on building this ski yourself or getting like 333skis or something?

the program isnt perfect.... and unless your going to make custom skis (and if you are, you definitely dont want to use it cuz its not accurate enough), you dont need it because your going to get what ever demensions the ski has that you buy

I am planning on building them myself. I have a buddy that has been maiking boards and wants to make a pair of skis. If you dont like sno cadd then wat is a better program to use? I could really use some help and pointers.

the problem is that you kinda of have to work with sno cad, is doesnt work with you.
for example, i will put in a waist, but then it wont let me put in the tip dimension without it automatically changing the waist. it doesnt let me put what i want for some reason

i have no idea what else to use though
