Oh Divas, please weigh in with your infinite wisdom. I've been trying to recapture that snappy turn feeling I had when I demoed the Free Luvs way back, and I've always thought that feeling was due to how narrow it was underfoot (76 vs. 86 on the Kenja, which I had at the time). Recent conversations have introduced a factor I hadn't even considered (ugh, feel like a noob again), which is turn radius.
So how much of that feeling (whee! short turns! edges!) was width underfoot, making it easier to get my skis on edge, and how much of it was the shorter turn radius (something like 10-11 m on the Free Luv vs. the 16-17 m on the Kenja)?
In other words, I guess I know what each is technically speaking, but how does that difference translate to skiing?
