You'll hear a lot of contradicting opinions, but in the end it's all personal preference. I highly recommend at least trying a pair (preferably a few) before deciding for yourself.

Personally I won't ski anything without rocker, and the bridges seem great for the type of skiing you'd be doing.

I demoed some bridges last year and loved them, even though they were too short for me. But I demoed them on a pow weekend so I didn't do much groomer or icy skiing.

That being said, I have some k2 recoils now which have k2's "all-terrain rocker" which isn't a full rocker and I find them being much more appropriate for east coast riding. I have yet to use these in pow though. Looking forward to seeing how they feel.

I have demoed the volkl bridge about three weeks back and I would use it as a everyday ski. They gripped ice very well and didn't get squirrely at speed. I'm not a fan of rockered skis most of the time but holy shit volkl did a damn good job. I would use them as a everyday ice coast ski. They can do it all.

In powder there is nothing better. They make you float and make sure u dont tomahawk when jumping cliff. On groomer and in park they suck though.
