I've had volkls before but mostly powder big mountain skis, these volkl bridges i just ordered will be my skinniest twintip volkl, actually skinniest twintip ever that I have skied on or owned. So I'm curious to know how they do on the groomers. My other twintips have been fat skis with rocker tips or full rocker so from my experience twintips suck a lot, but considering that these have no rocker at all, and are 92 at the waist, I'm thinking they might be different. I'm only asking this cuz I will be needing to do some evaluations for some certifications on the groomers soon, like carving and just frontside technical stuff, and I don't know if I could use these skis to pull it off or if I'll have to bring my racetigers too. thanks

next years model meaning 2010-2011? wow i didnt know that, rockered tips or full rocker? looks like the bridges are leaning away from the park aspect and more to big mountain.

bridges have always been an all-mountain ski, BRIDGING the gap from park to big mountain. they are stiffer, can handle groomers, crud, trees, powder, park, anything you through at them.

they will definitely carve, but not like a dedicated carving ski
