Here is a tutorial that i got from a guy that works for Rossi. He did it to a pair of Rossi Steeze's using, IMO, the best method.
The reason i think it is the best method is because you can ensure that you get an equal amount of rocker in the tips and tails. When using the method where you just clamp them together in the middle and shove shit down there, you run the risk of one ski getting more rocker in it than the other.
But anyways, here is the email i got from him, with pictures.
First you need to figure
out what you want to do to the skis, full rocker, just tip and tail, tip only
ect… What I did with my steezes was a tip and tail rocker,
where I rockered the tip 50cm back from the tip, and 40 cm forward from the
tail. The 95 or so cm under the foot stayed “cambered” so
that the ski would still arc on harder snow. A full rocker will be better
in pow, but this will work better for all around conditions.
Rip the bindings off… its way easier
to deal with the ski, if you cant, don’t worry about it, you can still
manage to get the job done with the clamps on there.
I next built a jig. As you can see
from the first pic, the jig holds the ski down under the foot, its bolted down
to the table, and the ski is clamped to the first 2x4. I then
marked on the ski where I wanted the rocker to start, and placed the other 2
2x4’s under the rocker points. Now the ski is set up to be torqued
into position. Throw a couple of tie-downs around the tip and tail, and
wrench the shit out of the ski. Remember that the ski is not going to
stay as bent as you have it in the jib, so wrench is more then you want the
rocker to be.
Now, hit it with heat, a couple of cycles
heating it up, not to hot, warm-to-hot to touch, but not to the point of
melting the ski. Keep your hand on it and you will feel if its getting to
hot. Cycle that a couple of times over a couple of days and bingo,
rockered skis.
