Tradional camber? Rocker?

Tip rocker and a subtle amount of tail rocker, with traditional camber underfoot.

JFE has it right.

Skied a couple of the H20 models with Dean Cummings and crew on a random day at A-Basin after SIA this season. The skis are solid, built right along side Praxis, and given that the conditions were less than ideal for the type of skiing this line is intended for they more than held their own on the hardpack groomers and refrozen crud we were privy to that day. We'll be bringing a couple into the shop this year and see how they do.

P.S. For an old geezer that Dean Cummings sure can ski...

Yeah he can still ski eh??

I have a pair of 191 Kodiaks. I really wanted a more traditional (in the modern sense) ski and I'm also big on the locally made.

It's cliched, but they are really a do everything fat ski. They float just like you'd expect. They don't pivot or smear in powder as well as other skis I like such as the bent chetler, but that's not why I got them. This is a ski that skis the same in deep powder as it does in chop and hardpack. Fast, carvy and sold feeling. They are so good on groomers and harder snow that I haven't skied my hard snow skis (2011 194cm gotamas) at all.

If you want a 120mm ski that will destroy all conditons, without being as unforgiving as a ultra-stiff comp ski, these are perfect. The icing in top is that they are made right here in Tahoe.

Glad to see someone else with the same feedback I have on this ski. I have been on it over 100 days and it still rails EVERYTHING i toss at it. Only issues I ever had were in warmer spring slop and that was probably more me being lazy than anything. These skis demand you ski them, no laziness. Angulated turns, push the tips and they reward you big time.
Wood core, no metal, made in the USA.

BUY SOME!
