One of the things you do when you use the Ski Visions tool to do structuring is to run a sharpener down the base to slice off those fresh peaks to allow sideways slippage. Just a pass or two. Makes a difference.
(Still not getting that graph, James. Is it supposed to be a ski? Normally I'm good with spatial drawings, but this one eludes me. I think if a full shot of a ski with this as an inset close up was there, my brain might grasp it.)
In any case, a deep, unbroken, linear structure resists slipping sideways. If you want a spring structure that is more user friendly, one of those structures with cross hatching or herringbones will be better. If you are doing your own structuring and not using a riller that presses a pattern into the ski, but using a tool like the Ski Visions tool that is cutting linear channels, you can mitigate by using short strokes and then knocking off the peaks with a cutting bar. My older skis have way more structure than my brand new ones which I haven't done much to yet.
