Short radius powder ski?

Just curious and it is probably unlikely due to the relative width of tips and tails to the underfoot section of a ski, though I wonder do powder skis with short radius exist?

Off top I think the JJ at 165cms is 16 that's the shortest you'll find but I could be wrong. Skis VERY short. 192 is only 19

A lot of the Fat-ypus skis are 5 point design and also...well, fat. This gives them a super tight radius on top of being very floaty. For example the 188 D'riddum is 118 underfoot has a 15 radius. They also have many more 5 points in the lineup that are worth checking out!

2nd vote for the Sakana. I normally ski a 185, but I ski the 174 in the Sakana and its a blast! I'm 5"11 195 pounds and the 150mm tip keeps me afloat in waist deep powder.

I love these skies.
