Resurrecting this old thread since I was thinking about it after watching some of the GS races.
Think of how interesting it would be if they let the racer pick whatever sidecut radius they felt would work best for them in the course. Some might feel that forcing everyone onto basically the same ski (except for differences in construction materials) levels the playing field, but as a gear aficionado I would enjoy seeing that added "variable" thrown into the racing mix.
It's odd that sidecut radius isn't restricted in SL, but it is in GS. They should be more consistent in the rules for the tech events.
