variable side-cut radii...advantage...purpose?

Actually the curve described by a uniform rope hanging between two points and acted upon by the sole force of gravity (locally uniform), is not a parabola. It is called a catenary, and is mathematically represented by the hyperbolic cosine function. Who would have guessed this math class I never used as an old fart engineer would end up serving a purpose, albeit a négligeable one, on a racing snowboard forum.
