Skier: Part-time slalom racers and advanced skiers who like short, quickly linked turns. Terrain: Steep, narrow and sometimes hard, as you might find in the East. Tight spots, like glades, are no problem. Turn: The turning radius of these skis ranges between 10 m and 14 m, typical of the tight radiuses of slalom courses.

 Skier: Racers and racer wannabes who love big turns at big speeds, bombing top to bottom on open slopes. Terrain: Groomed or hardpacked runs with enough space for big turns. Hardpacked snow and racecourse ice are in the mix. Turn: The turning radius of these skis ranges between 14 m and 20 m. That’s a turn shape typical of recreational giant slalom racing.
