How Fat is Too Fat?

[JD]

I'd be interested in trying rockered skis, but I have a hard time imagining they'd make that much of a difference that I'd ever consider buying them.

Everyone I know that's tried them in good snow loves them.

I want to try a rocker this year!

Musicians get all the chicks.

forget about rocker for where we live and ski, check out something with early rise and camber...you can still ski them on harder snow when necessary.

.... I'm intrigued by R/R skis like the maven (yet to ski the protos but flexing they are a heck of a lot stiffer than production), s7, ON3P billygoat, etc. as well as the icelantic shaman for EC pow sticks. The small ski manufacturers have really pushed the envelope the last few years with funshapes, based on skiing with folks on them I don't think a funshape ski in the 130's is too fat anymore - I can't wait to try it myself!

Same here roark,
*EDIT: Am serious about 888s and/or Tahoes(Moment, 96)...but although that 123mm:roll: NightTrain(Moment) looks rather wide(w/rocker) for NewEngland's varied terrain...would love to demo...maybe for a ski for out West...(if I ever get there..LOL).
