thats a very vague question. Those are all different skis, good at different things. You need too specify what kind of rockered ski your lookin for.

Bibby motherfuckin Pros. (this years, not so much next years)

they slaughter in park, other than not so quick on rails, so no 3 million switchups pretzel 630 out, but who does that shit anyways.

actually carve pretty damn well on groomers. big turns, but they hold an edge well, unless its a fucking ice rink.


pow. i mean, this is what they are for. mount em at recommended, which is about 3 back from center. they will shred forward, they will shred switch. stiff enough you can charge on em pretty well, but soft enough they wont kick your ass. soooo fun in trees.

Moment Bibby Pros in a 190.

I've skied the Comi-Kazi and the Motherships, and these are definitely the most versatile. Much beefier than this year's version which helps in non-powder conditions without losing any performance in the deep.

im looking into the exact thing. just a pow specific ski.

im most likely getting ep's, the only negative ive heard about those though is that they are terrible when it comes to crud/charging

Someone on NS needs to create a rockered ski guide.  I haven't skied many, so I can't have say in where all the rockered skis will go (category wise).  Then, that should be stickied at the top of gear talk.  Then people could post questions in the thread, and then people could decide on their own which ski fits their needs.  I have seen too many different threads on this shit.  Someone make one! 

I will tell you Hellbents blow in crud, that's where mine are worst.  They are definitely harder to move around in the park.  They kill in pow, SO MUCH FUN!
