Rockered Invaders

Soooo I just realized this today, but my line invaders have lost all camber and one of the tips is now partially rockered. Has anyone heard of this? I realize they are a soft ski and I am into pressing tricks. I've also taken them in a few days of powder so I'm wondering if that had something to do with it. No core shots and they've been mounted 2.5 times. Thoughts? Pics to come soon.

They are a soft ski, and since you said you like buttering around, that is what caused it. I think this is a first for me hearing that skiing in powder rockers your skis.

Invaders and Anthems had a tendency to rocker themselves out because they're so soft and are commonly used to butter...it does happen (plus, these are obviously well used Invanders, soit's been happening over time, you just happened to notice it one day).

Good to know. I appreciate the replies. My logic behind the powder is since the skis are so soft, the ski is stressed and heald at a negative camber position the whole day due to the tendancy of the tips floating while underfoot the ski sinks. I also only noticed it after my last powder day. But as you said I'm sure its just from pressing tricks and the age of the ski. The later is just a coincidence. As for the 2.5 remounts, the ski was mounted when first bought buy the PO. I remounted it for my bsl. Mid season I downsized my boot, and it only required tapping holes for the heel. The tech was able to reuse the toepiece holes.

its mainly due to constant stress of presses, landings, and poppin.

It's perfectly normal. Mine are like that at the moment, I actually like them better that way it's much easier to do surface switchups.
