Rocker is the opposite of camber. It describes a ski that is bent upwards, away from the snow – much like the leg of a rocking chair. Rocker and/or camber can be used in varying degrees to maximize performance depending on the intended use and snow conditions, improving steering, floatation, and turn initiation.

Sidecut is a measurement that tells you how much edge there is on your skis. Sidecut is measured by the distance between the tips of your skis and their contact points at the center point of the ski (where the binding is attached.).

Generally, a shorter length and a wider width will plow more snow than a longer, narrow one. Narrower skis are typically lighter for better acceleration off the start line and tighter turns...In short, if you want to ski smoother turns, look for a ski with a "wider" sidecut.
