Seth wanted his ski to feature the best of both worlds, Rocker and camber. His modified tip and tail Rocker design elevates floatation in soft snow and increases adaptability in crud and chopped up snow conditions. The Progressive Sidecut and regular camber underfoot give the obSETHed the overall advantage over other skis, providing quicker aggressive turn initiation on hardpack snow, but an easy smooth tail release in soft conditions. Good for Seth, and mere mortals as well.
