Camber bath.. :lol: Hard to say exactly how much camber is really too much for reliability on the down..I prefer the Lite Terrains to the Xterrains even though the lite's are a bit more cambered..Thing is the lites come longer and the 180 just skis more smoothly and is less twitchy than the short little 170 of the X which is less cambered but also more shaped..In any case, riding leaf springs on tennis shoes just does not work on a lot of snow conditions -- boy do those springs have edge hold once you bend them into reverse camber though!!! :shock: :lol:
