1. A snow riding device having edges running along sides thereof and an undersurface between a forward end and a rearward end, the device comprising: a tip at the forward end; a tail at the rearward end; a mid portion near a center of the snow riding device, the edges in the area of the mid portion forming at least a slight concave sidecut in that the width of the ski in the mid portion increases as it extends toward the forward end and toward the rearward end; a substantially planar portion extending beyond the mid-portion toward the forward and rearward ends, the concave sidecut extending through at least a forward portion of the substantially planar portion, the concave sidecut having a forward end and a rearward end; a fore-body between the tip and the forward end of the planar portion, the fore-body having a rearward end where it meets the planar portion and a forward end where it meets the tip, the forward end of the concave sidecut being offset in front of the planar portion such that it extends into the fore-body, the fore-body being widest near the forward end of the concave sidecut and being straight or convex forward of its widest location, the sides of the fore-body converging towards the tip; and an aft-body between the rearward end of the planar portion and the tail, the aft-body having a rearward end where it meets the tail and a forward end where it meets the planar portion, the aft-body being wider at its forward end than at its rearward end; wherein, the fore-body is rockered along most of its undersurface from the substantially planar portion to the tip.
