I am designing a ski with the folks at Igneous in Jackson Hole.  I have 3 choices for torsional stiffness.  I understand that torsional stiffness allows for better edge hold.  When and why would you want a bit more torsional twist in a ski?  Perhaps less torsional stiffness results in a ski that smears better?

I am looking at a double wide GS ski 132/104/112, 185cm.  Gonna mount ‘em tele.

Thanks
