Is the Volkl Chopstick Rockered?

yeah not too rockered just a little bit, its got a kind of wierd sidecut to it but ive heard they are practically the poppy-ist skis ever made
 
imagine a rocking chair, but on your feet. when you lay normal skis on the ground the noses and the tails are both resting on the ground wit rockered skis when you lay them on the ground the tips rise off the ground usually about 6 inches or so before the ends of the ski. and when you look at them sideways they make a slight u-shape almost.
 
hellbents, which are rockered:

I am really liking the look of the Chopstick for next year, i have an EP Pro and it is just way way too soft in the tail
 
negative or reverse caber. flat is no camber. but actually rockered and reverse camber are slightly different. rockered skis have a raised tip and tail, but generally a flat underfoot area. reverse camber are just that, reversed camber. the length of the ski is bent upwards, like a surfboard.
 
Pretty sure its 175 and 185

Being a volkl I would guess that its going to be a little stiffer than the current rockered skis, but thats just a guess.

And I have heard that the rocker is a little less than bents and eps

But don't hold me to all that....
 
it is a 175 and a 185. It is slightly less rockered to perform really well on groomers. i had been hearing that it is softer than your avgerage ski.
