What do you call deep pow? You can make the bridge work as long as you haul ass in pow. Don't know how they would hold up in park as far as durability but I imagine surface swaps would be easy with Rocker/flat/rocker. I had fun on them out east when I demoed them. They could do everything you threw at them. Volkl did a good job on the rocker and they didn't feel overly squirly at speed.

deep powder- a couple feet deep.

They are not going to do well in that deep. They are not intended for that deep at all. If it dumps that much where you are you are going to eventually invest into something with a 110 to 130 waist.

They're good in the park, they're good in the powder, and they're good on groomers. However, they're not great in the park, they're not great in deep powder, and they're not great on ice.

They should do pretty good in pow. But I gotta say when I looked on the volkl website and saw that they
had "50% rocker" and them saw them in real life,I was disappointed. They only had a tiny bit of early rise. But they are still a solid ski can't go wrong

its not a standard rocker. its gradual/continuous rocker. I like it a lot because it allows the floaty benefit of a standard rocker but the gradual/continuous rise allows you to have the full length of the ski to put on edge which is a huge advantage if you ski groomers a lot.

i was considering bridges but went with line blends because of the underfoot camber and flexier pattern
