Increasing radius?? Will this eliminate the feel of the ski altogether on a steep hill? The tail of my ski felt like an issue once in a while when out Saturday. Few inches of snow over a hard base which always give more ski feedback than powder. Don't know if it would be worth it for me and if extra steering effort resulted (seems like it would, I may be wrong??). Constant steep side hills would probably be different and controlled slides would be better I would think.
Huge improvement even over the amount I had narrowed my sled before. Never felt like it was paneling out. Did notice I was "pedaling" my sled more. More like when I ride a Pro. Often it was just reposition my body to get used to different input requirements. When wide, never felt like you could get to far forward just keeping the front end down. Not much of a need to "push" the sled. Cut some hills that I knew how my sled handled before for a decent comparison test. Did not put a slope meter on anything, but one spot in particular that is always tougher to get through regardless of snow conditions, was an absolute cake walk to cut across. Would have wanted to panel before. Raised would be better yet. Another spot, it was either hold a line or end up in a ravine, held no issues at all. Full width would have paneled and either slid down or would have been forced to climb straight up. I did notice I wanted to stand further back on the boards than normal for me. May remove post forward and give it a whirl just for comparison. Would like to try some forward a arms. Think it would balance out the sled a little better. W/ the snow conditions it felt like my front end wanted to "Rev" if you know what I mean and yank all over when transfering ski pressure back down. None of the other XP's noticed this so may have been more to do w/ the changes I made w/ my rear skid setup.
A quick question, do you like your skis toed slightly in, out, parallel? Mine are neutral on turbo, big bore is in and it rolls onto edge easier but sled has little different setup suspension wise. What do you think? You've probably tested all the different scenarios.
