so if anyone has been paying attention to the snowboard industry, you'll notice that most boards now come with a rocker/flat rocker.
its spreading to the ski industry, where rossignol's line of avenger 74 skis have "reverse camber" (which is really just an early rise, and not a real reverse camber)
in our local ski magazine, an anonymous rep from a big name ski manufacturer says that within the next 5 years, all their skis will have some sort of rocker/flat rocker/reverse camber/early rise/hybrid rocker.
the idea is not simply to allow for better float in powder, but also so make turns easier, and pivoting easier also. even some world cup DH skis now have an early rise to them.
