sidecut
Edge profile curve
Sidecut is the curved shape of a ski or snowboard's edge, where the middle is narrower than the tip and tail.
This hourglass profile allows the ski to carve turns when tilted on edge—the deeper the sidecut, the tighter the turn radius.
These skis have an aggressive sidecut for quick slalom turns.
