No camber or no rocker ?

I know that it's a strange question but


if you were forced to choose a type of ski to ski in all conditions from now on, would you prefer skiing skis with only camber and no rocker or skis with only rocker and no camber?

No rocker hands down. For years people skied everything on full camber and can still be done. Full rocker is more limited in application IMO.

Full rocker, 80% of the quiver is absent of camber already might as well keep the ball rolling.

From New Zealand, its pretty firm here a lot. Think id give the nod to camber, its hella fun on the hard pack and not terrible on small amounts of fresh snow. If i lived somewhere it snowed a lot id probably go rocker.

Probably rocker I just prefer how they feel and definetly wouldn’t ski something under 100 underfoot also

Full rocker for sure. Maybe not the most practical in all situations, but i love the surfy fun feeling you get from it

Full rocker and it ain’t close. Would probably not bother skiing on the worst 15% of CO days, but I already kind of do that.

Camber. Can always + and - camber height and create some minimal rise. So many ways you can play with it.
