Tip and Tail Fill for Rockered Skis
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2023 8:17 am
Hi Everyone! I'm trying to design my first pair of skis, and I've got a couple questions. I'm trying to make a superfat powder ski with more of a modern geometry, and am curious about how tip/tail fill applies in this context. My inspiration here is the Heritage Lab C132 or the Praxis protest.
My ski design is 140/126/132, a 1000mm effective edge, and a 1900mm overall length. This puts my nose length at 500, tail length at 400
SnoCad seems built around traditional ski, where the tip is almost at the end of the ski, so it wants me to have the entire nose (550mm) be tip fill. This seems very wrong, but I'm curious as to what the standard tip/tail fill is? 50mm, 100mm?
also from a general ski design, is it standard to put the highest point of the camber pocket, and the narrowest part of the ski, at the boot center mark, or at true center? IE, if I'm trying to have a boot center at -60mm, should my sidecut and camber bias be -60?
Thanks for your advice!
