K2 camber still pressed?

the longer a company leaves there skis in the press the longer the camber will last and the longer everything stays together. it also has to do with the core theyre using.

my fugitives from 2 seasons ago are now fully tip rockered. just from normal wear and tear..plus a couple butters.

my line invaders almost are rocked
they are pretty decent in powder
not even kidding

The only company that mills the cores with camber is volkl.

exactly

is that better?

way better and more difficult and expensive

This isn't really true. 

A ski left in the press for 20 hours is really gonna be the exact same as the ski left in the press for the full cure length of the epoxy used, which in some cases is under 20 minutes.  Once the epoxy is fully cured, leaving it in longer is not going to change a thing.  They can sometimes be small pockets of non-cured epoxy left over, which is why most companies let the skis sit for at least 24-48 hours before cutting them out to ensure the whole ski is cured correctly.

Volkl does profile the camber into at least some of their skis.  Is it better?

They think so, but a lot of other people disagree.  Camber is there to help the ski be more responsive and give more energy back to the skier.  By milling the camber into the cores, instead of having the manipulate the cores into their final camber through the use of a fiberglass/composite/epoxy matrix, you are not allowing the ski's core to have as much stored energy as it would in a ski with a core that was profiled flat.  That make sense?

As far as the process, for these big companies you are talking about $500,000+ computer controlled planers, routers, and milling machines.  It might take some extra work in the CAD programming to get the core profile completed with the desired camber, but once that is complete you are just sitting back and having the machines do the work.

I must say, too, that paying up a ski with the chamber milled into it would be a pain in the ass.

All camber is pressed into skis in the press using the bottom camber mold for the specific camber/rocker desired.

There was this ridiculous claim being made awhile, I think by sally, that they were the only ones molding their rockered skis in the press and that everyone else was bending the skis afterwards to get the desired rocker..

This might very well be the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

i heard that odyssey skis invented camber.  and the ski press.  and snow.
