So for my marketing class the final is to design a product based on the ideas of people that will use the product and use their input and ideas to create a model of the final product and then come up with a way to market it.

So what I need is the following:
Lengths
Camber
Sidecut
Ski shape
Width
tip-waist-tail measurements
where the bindings should be mounted
ideas for graphics
and the Company Name

or anything else you think would create the ULTIMATE ski.

Anything else you can add would be extremely helpful.
++K for help

thanks everybody.

the perfect ski depends on the condition
if i'm in the park, the perfect ski will be much narrower than if i'm in the powder

your not going to get "the perfect ski" because in the perfect world, there will be many perfect skis

those dimensions arent really a one ski quizer dude there more like the old salomon guns, or the anthoms, to each his own though...id say a one of the perfect one ski quivers would be line blends, or k2's kind fugas.

Lengths- 151, 161, 171, 177, 181, 187 (just like you said)

slight rocker in the tip and tail (like king fujas or obsethed)

width 102

134-102-129

soft but stif enough so theres no chatter at higher speeds, maybe between the stiffness of the volkl walls, and reno jibs

OP-i wrote maybe a 20-40 page business plan for an upcoming (start up company) ski company my freshman yea of college, i dought i still have it sine my computer got wiped but ill take a look if id help

If you live in a park.
I would say something like the surface watch life at 132/100/122 and someone said above the k2 kung fujas. That also has awesome dimensions for a one ski quiver. Both of these skis also have slight tip and tail rocker.
