for a carving ski, think about how you ski and the feedback the ski gives you. It depends what you are looking for in the ski.
Tail Heavy = Volkl
Tip Heavy (whippy tail) = Dynastar
Tip Heavy with a stong tail = Atomic
Tip Heavy (solid all around) = K2
Center ski heavy (edges tip and tail, lock down when you are over the center of the ski) = Fischer
Not sure where Rossi would fit in here, but I'm sure someone could describe them, and I wasn't too fond of Head's recently (based on how they performed outside their design) and wish Salomon would get away from the foam core.
