I noticed the same thing--the 'Rocker Revolution' has really begun to tone down, especially in the tail.

However, I haven't seen a turn of powerful, stiff flat tails either in wider skis...have you?

I still like a twinned or slightly twinned (ala' the Head Peak/monsters) tail, but I see the wisdom in taming the rear end rocker for most folks.  The need to 'pivot' in deep and funky snow may not be that paramount, but I think most folks, even technical purists see the advantages of an easy-releasing tail on a wider ski.

Does Scot Schmidt like the Stockli Stormrider 95??  Of all the boutique skis that's the one I am most interested in.   Schmidt's skis were stiffer than Dominique Peret's models!
