Although it depends on the model, some models have a reinforced center part to increase grip on hard slopes.
You can't switch quickly, but you can dynamically turn while feeling resistance from your feet on a wide slope. *Ski specifications: D/dimension = sidecut, L/length = length, R/turning radius, T = tail, N = nose
