Not sure you need them even there. I just got back from the Heli ski trip in Greenland, with deep pow every day and the last thing you "NEEDED" was a rockered ski. I would even say that if you wanted to ski at speed in larger GS turns in some of the bowls or down some of the steeper faces, the last thing you would have wanted was the DPS 112. I skied the Icekantic Shamans the whole time and they were perfect.

I think BW is right in that the only place that skiers may "need" rocker is in really tight trees. Personally, if it is so tight that I need to twist, pivot snd steer my skis, I would rather not ski it. Max however can ski almost anything without needing to do that. Luckliy for me in Montana, I can ski fresh lines much of the winter without having to ski in ultra tight spaces. BW, come west young man!! There really is amazing terrain and skiing and you can actually breathe in some open spaces!!
