What are your opinions on the salomon rocker2? im looking at picking up these skiis in either 92 or 108 and would love your view on them. Ill mostly be skiing it all mountain, little powder, not a lot of park, some drops in the 15-20 range and some larger booters. Im about 6ft and weigh 170 lbs, i consider myself an advanced skier for reference. Any helps appreciated.

I really love my 108s but wouldnt get them as a do all ski. They are great in most conditions, quick response in turns and hold an edge decently well, but it you are more often than not on groomers you may find then a little much. The 92 is probably more versatile.

Well I have the rocker2 92 ( I have the 2012 ), I really like them, good park ski, but now I use them as my all mountain ski on the east coast. I won't get them if you're planning on skiing powder, I use mine at Revy and really don't like them, but I was on my Opus for like 60 days straight before that.

Next season i'll buy some 108 for my all mountain ski and I'm gonna use my 92 for park only, I got use the larger ski and everything smaller then 100 underfoot is kind of small for me now. I really personnal preference, I like wider ski, but I have a big quiver, Salomon 2012's, kung fujas, 4frnt stl, JJ's , opus and 2 race ski, but I'm only using my opus and JJ's even on the east coast and on the ice.

If you want decent float then you should go with the 108, but performance on groomers will be sacrificed.  If you want performance on Groomers, get the 92, but float in pow will less.  If you do more pow, get the 108, if you do more groomers, get the 92.

I tried the 108s on an icy day last year, definitely wouldn't recommend them if you plan on skiing mostly hardpac
