That shit doesn't even matter unless you're a racer in my opinion. I mean... it's good to have a ski that can turn well, but if you cared that much about turning you wouldn't be bashing skis on rails. And for powder..... a straight fat ski will rip.

it acutally does matter. the difference between a 27m and a 19m turning radius is huge when flying down a groomer or deep snow. small turning radius skis can hook-up when going fast down pow or off piste while a straighter ski just hauls ass. on a groomer that same 28m ski doesn't really turn over anywhere near as quick as the 19m ski. i personally like 24-27m skis because you can let run in pow.

dude, turning radius really doesnt matter in pow, its the width that you want to look at

Obviously the difference between any '07 and '08 ski won't be very much. Especially not 27 to 19. They might have changed by a meter. At most. But I highly doubt that. If they are the same dimensions, they will be the same turn radius.

Ok. It's a park ski, this I assume it's going to be used in the park... ie. on rails, jumps, boxes, etc. so ripping perfect turns and holding a good edge isn't all that neccessary. And if you are a decent skier you'll be able to adapt to just about any ski, and shouldn't catch and edge when ripping down a groomer.

turn radius actually makes a big deal i personally like something with a really tight radius as i find them really fun to play on and i like using my edges others like a more slidish feeling on the hill and tend not to turn ad much as i like to in softer snow!
i know last years were 18-19 mm i believe this years are right in the same area no loss than 18 no more than 20..you wont notice a difference in tha small of a range!
fyi my watch lifes never felt hookey going fast in pow or crud...
