After skiing Outsiders I can't imagine going back to a ski with less rocker. Even demoing ARV98s in 171 size felt like there was too much camber, I just wanna be able to swivel on a dime. To hell with catching an edge, ever.

What skis out there have as much rocker as the Outsiders when you stand on them?

these but they’re for advanced riders so i wouldn’t recommend

does anyone know the actual story behind those skis. surely they weren’t made to be like that this guy must’ve left them in compressed in a trash compactor for a year and then decided to ski them

mfs post this any time someone brings up rocker or outsiders

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

But yeah I’d look at a devastator or meridian if I were you. I know [tag=260860]@DesertStix[/tag] is selling some 187 meridians

There’s plenty of skis that can pivot on a dime.

I don't want something with absolutely no camber

even outsiders have some rebound to them in turns

Basically i'm looking for a ski with roughly the same effective edge as outsiders

Just get ski blades then.

hell nah i need stability and butterability among other things

Sounds like you need to use that app soothe ski or whatever it’s called

update, didn't really find anything in sooth ski that's to my liking

can anyone recommend me a ski that's very rockered, very stable, and good in bumps?

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey.

bet, wouldn't doubt it.

I don't like its lack of taper and square tails but otherwise it seems good.

would the billy goat be better if I want taper?

I’ve never been on the Billy goat. [tag=146707]@Session[/tag] or maybe [tag=5495]@RudyGarmisch[/tag] might know. I know TGR loves the BG.

BG is going to be super directional. J118 has tapered tips unlike the rest of the Jeffrey line.

It’s all about the mount point. If you want a ski to pivot easily you need to be close to center. For example I got some Jeffrey 110s this year and I had them mounted at recommended (-4.5 from center) and they just wanted to go straight. But I tried them at -2.5 and they pivot and play much more. Any rockered ski mounted center to -2ish will pivot really well.

Maybe need to look into a few more considerations like core makeup, Taper, etc. My Fauna’s pivot pretty fast for such a cambered ski because of the core, taper, soft tips and tails and the ability to flex through it to hit 0 camber.

But here’s another one from a smaller company that I interned for. Half off now too. These skis were ridiculously fun:

Try it! Demo a centered ski like a Bentchetler and slide the demo track all the way back. It gets more solid and less surfy. Take a more traditional ski like a Mindbender and push the demo track all the way forward. It gets more squirrely and pivoty. Just about any ski does this.

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

They do have merit with that statement. Further forward will make a ski pivot quicker and feel less locked in.

I'm generally fine with directional, but I do wanna ski with a centered stance, because that's what I'm used to.

Would BG be bad for that?

BG skis well with a centered stance.

I'm well aware that moving a mount forward changes how a ski turns, my confusion was that you think a Jeffrey on the recommended line is hard to turn.

I was surprised too. It just didn’t work for me. Good in pow and soft snow. But on hardpack and in the park it felt like a 70m turn radius. The 2cm bump forward made all the difference. Now it makes large and small radius turns and feels like I would expect.

 

[BigPurpleSkiSuit]

Magic Js have a very short effective edge and a shit ton of rocker. They are also 127 underfoot though.

Also look at the 4frnt Devastator.
