What are some skis that use Rocker Technology but can still kick it on somewhat hard snow possibly a 50/50 soft hard snow ratio.

Ya i have to say the K2 HellBent, obSETHed, Kung Fujas and Extreme skis looked interesting, especially considering the new K2 SchizoFrantic Inserts.

The Reno Rocker maybe.  Or the kung fujas, Planks, or Alphas.  I made a review on the Reno Rockers.

Well hardpack and ice is pretty much the only downside or rocker, but of the rocker skis i have ridden, (which isnt that many) Volkl Gotamas and K2 Obsethed were good on groomers. But then again neither have a very high rocker.

JJs, Alpha 1a, Alpha 2s, 2010 S3s, ON3P Jeronimos ect.  These willll be especially good because they have normal camber underfoot, but are still rockered in the tip and tail.

I am interested to hear how the Shogun performs myself. Cool looking ski, but it being from Salomon I wonder if its going to have problems like the Suspects did last year.

demoed the salomon lords last season and they were good on the groomed and supposedly have rocker tho i didnt seem to be able to spot it! Gotomas probably a good bet!
