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 :-)

They don't have to be perfectly symmetric (and most aren't). Twin tip merely means both ends go up a considerable amount and are softer in the rear than normal ski's.

Mine have a more abrupt turn up at the rear.

Twintip means the back end is turned up like the front is. Some are symetrical (ie bindings are in the middle, with equal sidecut front and back), but most are mounted traditionally, with normal sidecut. The turned up back makes it easier to land jumps switch (backwards), symetrical sidecut means the ski will ski as well backwards as forwards, but you will usually lose out on forwards performance. You don't need or want a symetrical ski unless all (I mean literally ALL) you do is huge spins in the park, as it is not asgood in normal use.
