Hose-man, I love the table of dimensions, glad you put in all the man hours on it! They will be real useful for all of us here. All die-hard number lovers will love the publication by John Howe, "The new skiing mechanics."

John currently builds his own salomon/freeride skis out of Jay, Maine. He formally worked for Head skis as an engineer. He gives a solid empirical view of ski building in general. If you want to see how his brain works with ski design I recommend purchasing his book.

All though his designs are not as contemporary as ours, in a sense they are with radical sidecuts and tapers. Just a suggestion.
