Ski Graphics - Left & Right.

Yes on all counts! - Fischer Koa skis, think they all have "left & right" designs. My mild OCD wouldn't let me put them on the wrong feet....!

Personally i just through my skis down and clip into the one that lands nearest my foot so it would really annoy me to have graphics that dictate orientation.
And i suppose that gives us another problem.
If we are forced to wear skis on certain feet then we are going to create, unintentionally' a left and right ski.

I have read peoples opinions that a ski is a ski and it shouldn't matter with foot they are on but i have to agree with Dave Mac somewhat and concede that skiing styles will make adjustments to your kit that over time will make subtle changes that could be noticeable if reversed.
When side slipping or hockey stopping i am guessing we all have a preferred left or right stance. I am not saying we are not equally comfortable in performing these manoeuvres in either direction but just that we probably have a natural disposition to one way or the other. Just as we are left or right handed.
And therefor over time wouldn't we be wearing out edges and flexing skis in a non uniform fashion?
It could be that Skis do not have a sufficient life span for this to be a real world issue but in theory i see that by using graphics such as these could have a detrimental effect

I suspect it doesn't matter too much overall. If it had detrimental effect, there won't be skis with graphics dictating left and right. And the other way around. If it was of a particular notable benefit all skis would be factory marked. Side slipping and hockey stopping are usually dictated by external factors not by your stronger sides. You side slip when you can't turn so you can't change direction you are facing even of you would prefer too. Of course most skiers are not equally comfortable, at least not naturally. It makes sense to practice these manoeuvers on an uncomfortable side as often as you can for the very reason that when you resort to them you don't usually have a choice of direction.

hire them ;)

Doesn't the servicing balance it all back to the original state?

Who notices graphics any way !!!!
