I looked at my new pair of SLX's last night. Holding them together at the touch point at tip and tail there was a space of around a centimeter at the widest point (mid binding).

It's interesting how much variance there is among skis. My 2015 SS kers with almost 100 days on them have over 2.5cm of camber. Seems to suggest that you can't really go by the camber anymore when evaluating a used ski. I suspect in the case of the new SLX its got a lot to do with the cambered carbon-fiber plate.
