i want a rockered park ski but i dont know which to choose i do
35% rails
35% jumps
15% glades and powder
15% groomers
I am leaning toward the reno rocker but how much would it affect my landings on jumps?

+++++karma for good help/opinions

the reno rocker. Its a bit wider and will be more versatile and fun on pow days.

In the very brief time I spent on my rockers I absolutely loved them. I can't comment on the Alpha's, but I've found that the rockers handle all parts of the mountain relatively well (considering it's a rockered, center mounted park ski). Jumps can get *slightly* sketchy, but so long as you set the jump well and land in a balanced fashion you are completely fine. Just don't expect to be landing any insanely off balance landings (although I might just have really bad balance).

On rails they are tons of fun, the rocker helps you up on to what ever you are sliding. As for skiing around, they are really fun to butter off of things, and just screw around on groomers in general.

I am unsure of how they would handle some fresh since Whistler was rather barren at the time, but I have bacons for the days I spend in the trees.
