camber characteristics

Camber—The slight arch of a nonweighted ski when resting on a flat surface which contributes to the ski's flexibility. A ski with higher camber will feel springier than one with low camber.
Peer comment(s):

agree Yvonne Tapper-Gardzina : Or, camber profile. If the camber is too stiff, you lose control of the ski, but if it's too soft, the push-off is weak. (I just bought new skis this past winter:)
