Directional Tapered Shape

What is a directional tapered shape ski

i bought a pair of surface daily skis, and they are 156/120/135 i believe, and it has a directional tapered with camber and early rise. wondering how the directional tapered ski ride, can you ski switch, how is landing switch and all that/butter. The ski is stiff as you maybe will know for the surface skis, just wondering how directional taper ride

Go try the switch and report back. With hudge 135mm turned up tips they are just asking for you to go do the switch.

Directional: designed to ride forward, usually possible to go backwards too

tapered: ski is thinner towards the tip and tail, reduces wieght, sometimes makes a progressive flex pattern too, softer at the nose and tail.

you already bought them dude. wrong time to be asking questions, go ride them and tell us how they ride

No doubt I understand haha, I already bought them just wondering what it would be like, I’m still waiting on them to deliver

I own a pair of surface live lifes that are 146 in the tip and 130 in the tail and can verify they land switch just fine as long as they're a twin tip. Buttering more depends on the stiffness and length of them. I land switch into pow a ton on mine as well as side hits so I think you'll be good man!
