you take a ski and carve it as hard as it can and still be carving perfectly (ie no skidding at all) in a complete circle. then, you take the radius of tha circle, (midpoint to any point on the circle) and measure it. thats radius. basically it tells you how well a ski can carve, how short of turns it can make.

the smaller the number the quicker, anything in the 15-18 range is very nice smooth, 10-15 is quick and snappy, 18-24 is a little slower, but the smoothest (also the hardest to get used to)

and you can measure sidecut radius by laying your ski down on a piece of paper (the biggest piece of paper) and tracing the inside edge and you can use like a protractor or some formula to figure out the number if its not displayed, by the arc.

i thought you were asking about what a radius was not the ski radius. Durr. I didnt know what a ski radius was either.

its already been explained how to do it; its basically, if you have like below a 14 or so, its a slalom ski and will make you very quick turns. 14-18 or so is more like a gs or a crusier ski. anything bigger than 19 is smooth, as said before, but wont feel right when you first put it on

Likewise. My 190 V-Pros are a 26m and they are still fine for me in most conditions. Who likes doing short turns anyway?

Modul skis don't have a big sidecut, since they don't need to carve. MadTrix Mogul is a 23m I think.
