Replying to Aight so ive got a proposition about pow skis and skiing... insight?
so, everyone loves skiing the light fluffy softness we like to call powder. ive come to a few realizations over the past few days though, so i'd like some insight as to whether my observations are valid...
- everyone loves pow, but HATES tip dive, hence the new concept occuring is skis today "reverse camber" or "rocker." this concept makes skiing powder ultimately much easier and enjoyable because we arent have our tips dive on us or having the snow throw our tips around etc... basically it makes skiing powder better.
- that being said, almost all skis that are rockered, aside from maybe some moment's or something, are at least 100 underfoot.
- everyone also loves the sensation one gets from skiing powder which is the all time classic, "Face shot."
- now fat fat skis = less flotation, which in turn = less face shots!... here is the problem.
- now my solution to this, would be to have skis something like 90 underfoot, with a medium soft flex but ROCKERED!. that would give maximum face shots, but at the same time maximum ease and enjoyment in skiing the powder.
what are your thoughts?
sparknotes: Rocker = good. rocker is only on fat skis. fat skis = less face shots. solution? 90mm underfoot skis with rocker = easy/fun pow skiing AND face shots.. no?
