Average the front and rear width, subtract the waist width, and divide by two roughly yields the sidecut.

For your 124-76-107 the sidecut would be about 19mm? (The depth of the cut on each side.)

Sidecut correlates to sidecut radius, but a 180cm ski with 20mm sidecut will have a larger sidecut radius than a 160cm ski with the same sidecut. I'm not sure if "turn radius" differs from sidecut radius, but I think it includes the effect of bending the ski.
