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 :-)

kendub, The Radius 14.3 is the maximum radius the ski will carve when put on edge, 14.6 m. Race Slalom skis are 12 m radius, Giant Slalom 21 m, so yours will be for short turns.

Side cut 116mm Tip width, 74mm Underfoot, 103mm Tail width. Wider than a pure piste ski, I'd say 70% Piste, 30% Off-Piste.

For length which you don't mention, I'd say in that ski probably about a 165cm
