hey sorry for doing that.
did not mean to point that out just from my own experience of being a once very aft skier(much more aft than your wife) that rockered skis did not agree with me at first. IN 06-08 era i expressed my displeasure with them quite a bit mostly due to my balance not being great.
Now there is no way I would not recommend a ski with tip and tail rockered for off trail skiing, especially for people skiing tight spots.
Skiing a fully rockered skis on hardpack well is one of the best way to get amazing balance from all angles they do not forgive getting really forward or really aft and you need great tipping skills to engage the entire edge.
I have to agree with Josh here on how skiing a fully rockered ski on hardpack forces you to ski very centered. These skis can provide some great feedback on how well you're controlling your fore/aft balance or if you possibly have some fore/aft alignment issues that you need to work out. For the heck of it we took some shots at Mt. Rose of skiing our big rockered skis on a groomer. I'm on a 110mm underfoot, flat camber, rockered tip & tail ski in this shot.
It takes some serious concentration to work a ski that big into higher angles.
