Camber in the center: ensures clean grip on hard snow.
Tip & Tail Rocker: On sportier Peregrine models, the tail is also upturned. This makes it easier to release the ski from the turn.

It is about how far the sidewall extends.
Center Sidewall: Sidewall only under the binding, shovel and tail in a cap construction. Lighter, more playful, more forgiving.
Full Sidewall: Sidewall over the entire length. More power on the edge and more tracking stability at speed, but wants to be ridden more actively.
