So besides the fact that rocker can handle powder better, do they both do fine in the park?

they would both be fine in the park. some people prefer rockered skis some prefer cambered. almost know skies are full rockered/reverse camber though. most rockered skis are a hybrid rocker that are basically camber skis where the tip and tail rise off the snow early

i have rockers on my skis and i love it... I can switch up and go reverse so much easier than compared to camber.. but really it's all personal preference and they are going to perform about the same in the park (except off jumps).
