Could Heritage Skis do 3-Stage Rocker pow skis next?

They should. The surface Outsider and Odyssey were like the most fun pow skis ever made and nobody is doing the 3 stage rocker thing anymore.

Also did anyone cop the re-done hellbents and how are they holding up?

I would bet money that Marshall would never take any Surface design queue's. His main goal is to make older ski designs popular with the older TGR crowd that are not being made anymore, and it's pretty much a oner man show.

Had a pair for the 09 season, crazy fun ski in soft snow. Talked to the owner of Surface about the rocker and he said the idea was to make a skateboard shape ski. It kind of worked those things had so much pop in powder.

As a matter of fact I have. Absolute dream in deep pow. Like skiing on a trampoline. Makes low angle pow more fun than it has any reason being. Attempting to ski hardpack or ice is suicide.

They actually ride sick, I had the shorty 179s definitely more of an insane pow ski but fun asf in the park too. Obv better in the slush than the brick. And that top sheet was like the coolest one they made for em

It skis way more intuitively than you would expect by looking at it. Pretty fun most anywhere, only real problem is how goddamn heavy they are. Sucks on ice/crust but what ski doesn't. This ski turned me into a rocker supremacist
