How do multi radius skis work in practice
Some skis nowadays have a different sidecut radius at the front, center and back of the ski. With the different radius they claim to be suitable for both long and short turns. (So far the theory)
But how does a skier control which radius is actually used? Is this dependent on the edge angle or the load on the center (which would relate it to speed)?

I just stumbled over an explanation of this in a ski review. According to this, the radius in use depends on where you put your pressure. If there is more pressure to the front it will use the longer tip radius. If the pressure is applied more central, the shorter center radius is used.
