Rocker or Camber or Both

Some times you need the rocker to hit the pow or the camber to shred the groomed. what do you think of the fischer hybrid ski that has both.

 
Not sure I understand your question because most skis with rocker have camber underfoot. If a ski has 'full rocker', then it's rocker all the way.
 
That is kind of a cool idea, not sure if i would buy that ski though. Lots of skis have rocker and camber. Every ski in the rossignol line has both. The new petitor has so much camber i cant even squeeze the skis together.
 
Thanks for clarifying. I prefer a rocker-camber-rocker ski over a plain camber for everything, as long as the rocker is not super soft. Never ridden a full rocker or flat bottom, but I heard they're only decent off-piste.
 
I demoed the rossignol sickle for a few pow days and I can say that they rip everywhere from untracked to bumped out groomers and theyre fully rockered
 
Its an interesting idea but i dont see this system being the most durable and expect it to be burnt out after a proper season skiing, but hey fischer prove me wrong. I'm interested to see how its done internally and what the profile of the ski looks like in the two modes. Skis with rocker and camber have been around for a while and are being incorporated into pretty much every sector of skiing with early rise park skis to semi rockered go everywhere skis and to almost fully rockered pow and big mountain skis that still have a little camber.
 
I have a pair of fully rockered pow skis (flat bottomed) and they are amazing but the only problem is when you try to jump or anything they kinda feel dead and just so hard to use for any sort of jumping,
