How will this ski with bumps and tight and quick turn situations? Will the rocker make them unsteady on the hardpack.

I skied these last year on about a 16 inch powder day at Snowbird. They seemed pretty quick in the trees, but it will be somewhat skill dependent how they work. The rocker in theory makes this a quicker ski - easier to smear it around. However, i am not sure I would consider this a "bump" ski - it WILL work, but not the ski's strong suit. I was also impressed with the ski when you got to bottom area which had been groomed. Volkl has something with their rocker design, it carves quite well compared to a lot of other rocker skis. Finally, I have never skied a Volkl that I would consider unsteady or unstable. Hope this helps.
