Sidecut Radius Sidecut refers to the curvature along the side of a ski. Manufacturers craft sidecut into their skis by designing the tips and tails to be wider than the ski's center. The amount of sidecut a ski has is designated as its radius. The more sidecut a ski possesses, the smaller it's radius designation, and the sharper the turn it will be able to carve when tipped on edge.
