The more shape, the more sidecut.
If a ski is like 112 - 88 - 106 (tip, underfoot, tail) then it doesn't have much side cut, and will have a higher turn radius.
If it's really shaped like 112 - 74 - 104 it has a ton of sidecut, and a shorter turn radius.
A turn radius of 14m means it can carve a super tight turn easily.
Something like 30m means it's gonna be a bitch to get them to turn, or make a tight turn.
