 Have to say that after skiing Valle' on the Pilgrims in 4-8" of fresh and cream cheese and then the Nomad, I didn't miss or need the rocker. I do still think the Hellbents which are hugely rockered 20/40 are just fun and bring a different kind of skiing to the skier. being able to jump into low angle powder and ski lines others can't do the lack of pitch was great. So much good stuff around to get into and it was just fun to make different turn shapes that on regular skis you would have to worry about tip dive on was fun. Another tool for the box. not mandatory for sure.

I would add to your statement that I would recommend that a skier learn to ski pow on regular skis first before jumping on rockers.
