It makes it easier to break trail, as the tip sits higher up. You lose a little bit of traction on firmer snow due to the tail rocker, but other than that there is no real difference. There are a ton of backcountry specific skis that have tail rocker...4Frnt Renegades, DPS Lotus 120, Moment Bibby Pros, Volkl Nantuq, just to name a few. You see it mostly affecting the downhill part of your tour. It makes it more fun!
