WHAT IT IS:

An early-rise tip design.

WHAT IT DOES:

The combination of an early rise tip and a classic camber profile in the rest of the ski provides easy, smooth turn entry regardless of conditions. In softer snow the ski is incredibly forgiving, floats better, and requires less energy to ride. New for 2012-13, Völkl has added Tip Rocker to its Junior line of skis, giving kids a new level of learning proficiency and turning ease.
