Hi, Rocker is where it's at, cause they turn so easy and do well in lots of snow conditions from hardpack to soft groomers to bumps to powder. Ski performance is a combination of so many factors, the width under foot, tip and tail measurements, sidecut, flex, construction, and now rocker measurements (it depends on how far back the rise goes). I think that rocker is the next revolution since shape skis. I've tested most of next year's ski models from K2, Dynastar, Salomon, Volkl, Nordica, Line and Armada and there's a lot of awesome skis out there. So keep an open mind, get out of that rocking chair and onto a rockin' ski.
