Skis and snowboards are provided. The ski or snowboard may include a first tip, a second tip, and a body. The body may be between the first tip and the second tip, and may have a width and a length, wherein the width may be variable along the length of the body. The body may include a front portion, a back portion, and a sidecut length having a turning radius of between about 50 meters and about 115 meters.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A ski, wherein the ski comprises: 
 a first tip;    a second tip; and    a body between the first tip and the second tip, having a width and a length, wherein the width is variable along the length of the body, and wherein the body comprises: 
 a front portion;  
 a back portion; and  
 a sidecut length having a turning radius of between about 50 meters and about 115 meters.  
   
   
   
       2 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the sidecut length has a turning radius of between about 81 meters and about 115 meters.  
   
   
       3 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the sidecut length has a turning radius of about 112 meters.  
   
   
       4 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the widest part of the front portion is wider than the widest part of the back portion.  
   
   
       5 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the width of the body between the front portion and the back portion is between about 90 millimeters and about 180 millimeters.  
   
   
       6 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the width of the widest part of the front portion is between about 80 millimeters and about 180 millimeters.  
   
   
       7 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the width of the widest part of the back portion is between about 70 millimeters and about 160 millimeters.  
   
   
       8 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the body has a positive camber of about 6 millimeters.  
   
   
       9 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein when the ski is laying on a surface, the first tip will rise about 90 millimeters above the surface over the last about 300 millimeters to about 1000 millimeters of ski length.  
   
   
       10 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein when the ski is laying on a surface, the second tip will rise about 80 millimeters above the surface over the last about 250 millimeters to about 800 millimeters of ski length.  
   
   
       11 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the first tip is curved in a smaller radius than a portion of the body.  
   
   
       12 . The ski of  claim 1 , wherein the second tip is curved in a smaller radius than a portion of the body.  
   
   
       13 . A snowboard, wherein the snowboard comprises: 
 a first tip;    a second tip; and    a body between the first tip and the second tip, having a width and a length, wherein the width is variable along the length of the body, and wherein the body comprises: 
 a front portion;  
 a back portion; and  
   a sidecut length having a turning radius of between about 50 meters and about 115 meters.    
   
   
       14 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the sidecut length has a turning radius of between about 81 meters and about 115 meters.  
   
   
       15 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the sidecut length has a turning radius of about 112 meters.  
   
   
       16 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the widest part of the front portion is wider than the widest part of the back portion.  
   
   
       17 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the width of the body between the front portion and the back portion is between about 250 millimeters and about 375 millimeters.  
   
   
       18 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the width of the widest part of the front portion is between about 275 millimeters and about 300 millimeters.  
   
   
       19 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the width of the widest part of the front portion is about 300 millimeters.  
   
   
       20 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the width of the widest part of the back portion is between about 275 millimeters and about 300 millimeters.  
   
   
       21 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the width of the widest part of the back portion is about 293 millimeters.  
   
   
       22 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein when the snowboard is laying on a surface, the first tip will rise about 64 millimeters above the surface over the last about 100 millimeters to about 650 millimeters of snowboard length.  
   
   
       23 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein when the snowboard is laying on a surface, the second tip will rise about 50 millimeters above the surface over the last about 50 millimeters to about 400 millimeters of snowboard length.  
   
   
       24 . The snowboard of  claim 13 , wherein the first tip is curved in a smaller radius than a portion of the body.
