All-terrain rocker - what is that?

[jokael]

I'm about to break in my new K2 OneLuv (in 10 days ), but in the specs I noticed that several shops enhanced their "all-terrain rocker" - and yet categorized them as plain camber.

When I googled the phrase, the only results I got was - surprise - articles or specs regarding the K2's

Is this something exclusivelig for K2 skis?
And what difference does it make compared to regular camber?

We have a thread in the gearpedia section on rocker. All terrain rocker is not mentioned specifically, but I call it early rise. @volklgirl your take?

My guess- rocker that’s appropriate for groomers, not JUST powder.

From what I could find out, in this case "all terrain" is referring to a twin tip. This means that it has rocker in tip and tail and traditional camber in the center. My guess is that it makes it a more versatile frontside ski because it will work well in the park as well as on the groomers. I attached what I could find.

All terrain refers to tip rocker and tail rocker. My K2 skis (Alluvit 88) have significant tip rocker and little tail rocker. They are not twin tips. My skis are labelled with the all terrain mark where the rocker begins, which is kinda neat.

Perfect - thanks for explaining.
I was getting a bit confused before....... How a camber can be a rocker
