Hi guys,
i’ve been wondering about something lately.
I was an advanced-expert kid skier, was in ski school/club etc but then made a 15 year break and i am really bad with ski terminology( i barely remember any terms plus it was in a different language). When i started skiing again i did not take any classes, went on the bunny hill by myself and a 10 days later i was on the black runs. I guess it is truly like riding a bike, you can’t really forget to ski. The reason why i am writing this is because what i am about to ask might seem obvious to you guys. I am wondering how much your ski turn radius impacts your skiing. I get it, short radius skis make shorter turns, long radius longer turns. But what is the actual difference between skiing short and long turn radius skis in bumps for example, or steeps, anywhere. Are long radius skis still easy to turn ?
I realized all my skis had short turn radius, and when choosing my skis now i went with my second choice only because my first choice had long turn radius and it scared me it will be different to what i am used to and that I won’t like it.
