And from all indications, it does not affect how a ski carves. Logically it shouldn't, which is why the "broken design" comment makes no sense to me.
Why would that be a broken design, especially since it has crept in racing?

Originally I had the same reaction, until somebody simply told me that "early rise" is nothing more than a normally cambered ski with the tip going higher than a traditional ski. The tip interracts the same way with the snow, but it is longer and higher (for example instead of 6 cm high, maybe 8 cm high). The only benefit is that the tips won't dive in deep snow. To me it makes sense, because this is exactly what I see in my new Salomon Enduro ski. It is a traditionally cambered, wood core, double Ti laminate and vertical sidewall construction with a tip that is a bit longer and higher than my older ski.
And with this I shall apologize to jbotti for the highjack and shut up now.
