really? I have a pair of rockered all mtn/pow skis and haven't really noticed that too much. I could be wrong though. I guess they could ski differently on packed snow/groomers than what I mostly used them on?

ON3P seems to be a bit of an exception. They're relatively stiff and have a full sidewall so that helps.

Once you break 10mph then you start to notice.

They are so dope! They are really buttery at the tip and tail, while being stable underfoot. I have the on3p filthy rich and they are so fun and playful.
