I was watching the hunting yeti movies and saw a few clips from webisode 2 part 2 where pollard comes up on a jump and the tails are bouncing all around.

I'm sure pollard has an early rise prototype for almost every ski.  they are probably new skis with the bacon top sheet.

nope, bacons are normal camber, pollard was probably testing a prototype with bacon graphics for marketing purposes

they were proly his pro model or a prototype with the bacons graphics for marketing.   he rarely skis the original bacons in movies but he has to get them eposure time so they're just the graphics on a diff ski

Early Taper
Widest point on tip and tail are set in further from the tips
- Reduces tail drag & hooking in powder
- Tail sinks & tip rises easier in powder
