He means that once you hit the powder the skis are so skinny that more than 4 inches of fresh makes the tips break off and slam into your legs breaking your tibia. Also causing PTSD and sometimes patellar tendonitis/AIDS.

ill be nice and give you some real advice but first of all you are retarted, think about it how is a ski gonna explode, welcom to ns where if you think something is wierd its a troll get used to it, but the rocker will help in powder compared to a camber ski but they are only 88mm underfoot so they arnt wide enough to keep you on top of alot of pow compaired to a wider ski. if you still want good park preformance and good pow preformance look into the jeronimos and if you'd rather have pow preformance over park get jefferys they are amazing. but if you are wondering because you might ski some pow here or there but mainly park get filthy rich's.

Here's what you should do:
If you're going to spend the money on ON3Ps, get one of their pow skis, such as Caylors. I use them and I like them a lot. They will last a long time, and retain their resale value much better if you outgrow them or something. Basically, it'll be much more worth it. For park skis, just find something cheap on evo or backcountry.com and beat it into the ground. It's what happens to all park skis anyway.

They will be completely fine in 5-8inches of fresh, the rocker will help them float, but honestly, especially since you don't need that much float in 5-8inches, just go fast enough.

He's lying don't listen to him. My buddy had a pair that exploded in 2 inches of fresh and he was hospitalized for 9 days.

If u want them to ski a bit of pow, get jeronimo's. They're just as fun and will float a little better. (PS you need a whole lot more than rocker to have a ski that floats well)
