i know i spelled that wrong, but whats the difference between syemmetrical and some thing else
a centermounted symmetrical ski takes the most advantage possible of your turning radius given your mounting position, since the middle of your boot will line up with the most narrow point in the ski the side cut will have its maximum effect on easing turning as opposed to a centermounted ski that is not symmetrical whose most narrow point wont line up with the middle of your boot but will lie behind
a symmetrical ski also gives the same performance riding backwards as it does riding forwards
my skis arent symmertrical and are centered, but i have ridden ones that are and the differences are subtle but still there
you can turn more easily, and yes it will make switch riding more comfortable theorhetically
thanks every one but if your ski isnt quite syemetrical will it really madder
okay so either your chronics were shorter, or your techique has improved, or what it really sounds like is that they werent centermounted, in which case youre comparing apples to oranges
but a symmetrical vs non symmetrical ski would have no difference on your landings, and a switch from non center to center mounting would have a much bigger difference than symmetrical
