Does any one know what the sidecut range for GS skis should be. I'm not sure, so any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I know this is a "newschool" site, I just want something to go fast on and possibly do a little racin'

Thanks for the help

I could be wrong, but I believe FIS doesn't permit a radius below 10.0 m.  As for your own ski, it just depends.  If you want something that is super turny, go for between 12-15, something that turns well but can still be used on the rest of the mountain, go 16-19 m, and for park to pow, go 19-25
