It is investigated that the side curve and ski deflection are situated on each circular cone surface during the carved turn. From this investigation, the radius of the side curve of the ski had better be increased as the ski deflection increases with the increase of edging angle during the turn. On the base of this investigation, a side curve variable ski was designed and fabricated. Link mechanism was adopted to the shrink of ski width. From a test skiing by some ski athletes, positive comments were obtained.
