I cant find a profile view of the new obsethed ski anywere. How much rocker did they add to the tip? Will it chatter on hard snow?

You can find a profile comparison here: http://www.skiforum.it/forum/showthread.php?t=40600 The tips of the 2010 chatter a bit on flat and flap a bit on chop, but then again, that "give" works to your advantage when you ski into troughs of bumps and hit landings. The flex is darn near perfect. The 2010 has totally vertical sidewalls, whereas the 2011 has a cap construction on the very top and vertical sidewalls on the lower part next to the base. I would expect the cap construction to soften the tip vibration a bit. Personally, I don't find it bothersome at all. This ski rocks.

It is the same tip rocker as the hellbent and the same as the previous obsethed in the back.

We'll hopefully have profile pics of our rocker skis in the coming weeks. In the mean time I can tell you that the ObSethed has a nose rocker that looks a lot like the Hellbent, but the tail is the same as last year's. That way you get more ski to land those big airs on. They can be a handful on hard snow but in variable snow (and of course pow) you'll be loving it.
