K2 was ahead of the industry in recognizing the value of rocker for all skis. This season no K2 skis have “traditional camber.” All skis are defined in terms of some combination of rocker shape and camber. “Baseline” defines how much of each. More rocker means generally better floatation and performance in soft snow and usually easier turn initiation because the tip is off the snow. But due to design, all skis except those with Powder Rocker have 100% snow contact when on edge. Refer to the Baseline chart below.
There are a lot of rocker profiles out there and it can be confusing, but for consumers this approach by K2 is the easiest and most helpful by far.
