How's the turning radius on the Trab? I'm a big fan of the trees as well as BC and I have no idea what "20m" turn radius means

If you were to carve a complete circle on your skis, the turning radius would be the distance between your tracks and the center of the circle. This measurement is used to roughly judge how tight the ski wants to turn. Take the measurement with a grain of salt though. How many times does anyone really carve geometrically perfect turns? As a rough guide: A snowboard usually has a turn radius in the 9-15m range, a slalom ski will be in the mid teens, park/all mtn skis are usually in the 20-25m area, and big mtn shred skis go from 30m up to 45m (!) in some cases. A ski that is this light with a 20m radius is going to be very nimble in tight spots but still able to float lazy turns in open areas without constantly trying drag you across the fall line. I hope this helps some. Tough to describe this stuff without drawing a picture sometimes.

Write your answer here...Sidecut 115-84-105 radius 20 m. Is a very good ski, not a lot of sidecut. But you can ski anywhere.
