Big Willie,I have to argue the point about a rockered ski after being on my Obsethed's. They are incredible on the groomers, I can have just as much fun on them and carve sweet arcs in the snow even at higher speeds just as much as my Mantra's. So I was just curious if the Alpha had a somewhat similar feel but a shorter radius with the early taper than my Obsethed's plus a whole lot quicker. I think that's what this local shop was saying, so I'm looking for someone that actually has had it on their feet, no offense. 4frnt is still a wider ski though from what I remember. Thanks

I have skied them and i was not impresed with them on groomers, they skied no better then the ar6 or arv, they buttered easy and had a lot of pop but they skied no better on groomers, I would not really consider the obseth a rockered ski it's so slight that it does not make all that much difference, have you skied the line bacon? it skies the groomers and powder better then the obseth with no rocker, just slight camber, if you want to see a how a tru rockered ski is suppose to ski try the hellbents, thats what they sould do with the obseth then it would truly rip. No offense but after riding the obseth i thought it was way over rated, just another over hyped ski because of the person who designed and rides it, sorry.
