What is a lot of rocker on a ski?
To compare the two extremes think of standing on a ski with excessive camber, most of the pressure would be on the tips and tails of the ski with very little underfoot.

How long do skis last newschoolers?
I expect a quality pair of skis to last 300+ days of skiing before they need to be retired. I would expect to possibly have to make minor repairs in that time (i.e. re-laminating tips/tails, re-attaching an edge segment). I have had skis last anywhere from 4- 500 ski days.
Are rocker skis good for beginners?
Beginner skiers should look for skis that have substantial tip rocker. A lot of rocker in the tip means the tip curves up, which is a good thing when you are trying to learn how to turn. Tip rocker will make it easier to complete short, slower-speed turns, and helps to initiate turns.

Do I want camber or rocker?
The camber design traditionally gives you more consistent pop off jumps. However, rockered skis and boards simplify the task of transitioning from nose to tail.
