The Effect of Sidecut Radius on the Dynamics of Alpine Skiing by K.D. MacDermid
Width - The width is typically measured at the waist of the board, since the nose and tail width varies with the sidecut and taper (which we will get to in a moment).
Sidecut - The edge of the board, as viewed from above, is not straight but curved, so that the tip and tail are wider than the center.
