it would help the little kids out though by keeping their tails sunk, and tips up high... plus everyone wants to follow thier rad dad all over the pow days.

it's not even just the rocker, they've got a legit wood core with sidewall construction, unlike many kids skis. so legit.

Seriously. Learn to ski on regular skis first. Not on some fancy rockered, reverse camber, what ever ski. Its sad when you see kids and even dudes into their 30s on rockered skis that don't know how to ski. I always do get a good chuckle when I see some guy on rockered skis in the back seat straight lining.
