The 173 is 123-101-116. It has very little shape as you can see. 10.20 lbs for the pair. Turning radius is high, but I don't think it is 37 radius for that vintage.
31.3m according to PhysicsMans Sidecat Radius Calculator. Not an exact measurement but good approximation. That's still pretty damn straight in the sidecut department.

I was just saying that my "mid-fat" (which is really now considered a skinny ski!) is only 5mm less in the tip despite being more than 20mm narrower in the waist. Just for perspective regarding how straight those 103's are.

ahhh, gotcha

what's the turn radius on the Legend? 19?

I have tried the heavy stiff ski route before for a back country setup. I had a pair of Rossi B-squads mounted with Marker Dukes. They were the stiffest skis I have ever skied. Much stiffer than my race ski.

I used them because I got them cheap. They were alot of work to ski in soft snow, and to cut through the trees. I am not exactly sure on the radius, but the next size up is a 34m radius. Did I mention how heavy they were? You felt it on the way up.

I now ski a pair of Scott P4's with the Marker Dukes. They are still a beefy ski, much more than my other friends like, but i am used to stiff skis. They turn way easier in the trees and soft stuff. Plus they weigh alot less. A whole lot more enjoyable ski for the back-country than my Rossi's were.

Thanks for the input guys. Based on the photos that Cannonball put up as well as considerations regarding weight, side cut, etc., I am scrapping this idea. However, I have another brainwave....

Even though you already made up your mind I just wanted to state that I think Naxos are huge pieces of shit and I don't understand how anyone could like them who tours at least a decent amount.
