The "lack of normal control" bit takes some getting used to. The (semi-) rocker felt like straight skis at first - coming out of the lift, they almost didn't want to turn "the normal edging way". Then I got to enjoy rotating it left and right, which is almost impossible to do on my carver. They sure make you want to relax and ride it to the bottom, instead of driving it. I also made up my mind that my next pair of skis would be very light but plenty stiff.

The feel of riding on rockered ski is very different from conventional ski.   Rockered ski can turn effortlessly and may form incorrect ski move/body position habit. At least this is what I felt after riding Rossignol S3, Experieince 83 and Slant Nose 9SL TI.
Conventional carving ski (such as Slant Nose) can carve with accuracy as well as to "force" skier perform correct body/weight position.   To improve skills , it is the best to use conventional ski but to  t have fun, rockered ski is a definite charm.

多谢分享, 看来rocker并不是每个人都能消受.

@Stormrider, I got to try 2 pairs. The first, a Fischer Motive 76 (I think) was the first moderately rockered pair of skis I have been on. It felt very strange at first, felt like I need to pull the skis further back under my feet to get a response. Once in motion, they felt good, but perhaps a tad short, I skied the 165cm and 170cm would be a better fit. Then they put me on an Atomic Smoke Ti, standard cambered. This one I didn't like at all. I made two runs and couldn't wait to get'em off my feet - not responsive at all to my skiing. I would have liked to try the Line and Hart and Head, but I didn't have enough time. All in all, I am not ready to get a rocker/reverse cambered pair of skis yet. Might be good for deeper snow than what we get here, they don't feel very nice on ice at all. A few more years for my Dynastar Contact Limited groomer skis yet! With perhaps a lighter pair of mogul skis to add to my quiver.

My wife tried the Fischer Zephyr. It has a "flex.it" flexibility adjustment dial which sounds like a gimmick but apparently works well. She seems more dynamic skiing them after a run to get used to it. Her everyday skis are K2 One Luv.

Went today. Nice condition. Skishop had a demo day. Got to try a few new skis. Great fun.

今天雪好啊！真过瘾！明天还去！

今天雪况超好，尤其是前山，特别适合用刃滑，人又少得不用等缆车，爽！！ ...

今天俺也去了，一共滑了5趟，brome的雪况一流，还没什么人，想咋折腾就咋折腾。后山不好，刚犁过的道上还到处都是冰疙瘩。montreal也不理想，大片大片的硬冰壳，
