SL skis make high G turns at 20MPH. GS skis require closer to 40MPH and at least 2x the run width. If you have the space GS skis are a blast (unless you do a heluvarelease, in which case they suck).

What's your point?? 

I wasn't talking about race stock skis.   There are plenty of skis that will make gs (or much larger) carved  (or what turn style floats your boat) turns at speeds far less than 40 mph.   You don't need a GS ski to make a gs turn.  I had a Hart Phoenix (with a nice vist speed lock plate and binding) out on the hill today.  The turn radius in the 180 is a 17.5-it bend at speeds far less than 40mph and it is a wonderful tool for medium to large turns at any speed.

As for Sl turns...it makes short turns nicely, too (in the surprising moguls that developed on our limited terrain during this warm week it was wonderful)--but like I said, except for some terrain specific demands, I don't do the the sl turns so much anymore.

I have no idea what speed is required to make a carved sl turn on that ski.
