After the success of the Powspatiplus, and my recent love affair with Mavens, I decided that I needed a touring ski with rocker. Unfortunately most rockered skis are 120mm wide monsters that make for wonderful touring setups if you're using lifts or helicopters. Unfortunately the touring community hasn't quite gotten the whole fun shape thing so there is a paucity of shapes in the 99-105mm waist range that have rocker. So never being one to let the facts stop me it was time to create one. For this I chose my bluehouse districts, they're fairly lightweight, wide, and aren't foam cored. Now the one issue is the lack of any metal whatsoever. With the pow plus it's very simple, bend metal and you have rocker. I'm not sure how this will work without something to hold the bend. My hope is that pressure and time will be sufficent enough to "warp" the core into a reverse curve.

Day one was pretty solid, if unspectacular, had a bit of an ice crust in spots, but once that got skiied, it was just fun to get out there and charge

Day two was probably one of the best days of the year at Magic thus far, we got 6-10" of blower new snow and it was fantastic skiing

And to top it off I spent Monday afternoon poking around in the BC for some fresh, found a nice new line that will be pretty good once we get a little more snow
