Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

ok so my 160cm bandits have a radius of 14.3 which Im happy with.....Im looking at the specs of the phantom sc80, size 185cm has a radius of 17.2....now if I had a shorter phantom, say size 165cm, would the radius also be smaller ? ?....they only show the specs for the 185.....or am I misunderstanding the whole thing

Usually, yes. With the same sidecut, shorter = smaller turning radius. In some occasions, the sidecut changes for different lengths, but let's not get into that.
The first hit on google got me a list of all turning radii.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?
