Movement Skis Goliath Ski - 2008

If you head out of bounds seeking big lines and deep snow, the Movement Goliath should be in your quiver. This Swiss-made “touring” ski’s combination of huge size, smooth flexing stability, and surprisingly light weight caused testers to scratch their heads for a few years, until Backcountry Magazine finally gave up and named it an Editor’s Choice. Throw some burly AT bindings on it (think Marker Duke or Fritschi Freeride at the least) and the Goliath will not only send anything in sight, but skin back up for a second shot without destroying your legs. Arriving for 2008/09 in just one length, the 191cm Goliath is for making huge arcs on open faces and moving quickly and predictably in exposed, high-consequence terrain. Smaller AT riders and those willing to sacrifice some mach-speed tracking for increased tight-spot maneuverability should take a good look at the Goliath’s younger brother, the Goliath Sluff.

Bottom Line: A Swiss snow giant with a firm hand and a light heart.

What bindings would work best on the Movement Goliath and should

What bindings would work best on the Movement Goliath and should they be mounted in the normal place? I am 6'3" 195lbs and ski at a din of 11-12. I tend to to load a ski and ski aggressively but no air.(who does not say that they ski aggressively. Has anyone ever bought this type of ski and said; yeah I ski like a wuss.).

I skied these last year at the snowbasin ski demo and was blown away. These skis are that ever elusive ski that is both light and nimble as well as stiff and stable. I was very impressed with this ski in any condition. In powder the ski has a float that is almost unmatched except by the "funshapes" They provide a very surfy feel that is a blast to ski. Once the snow got cut up the skis performed extremely well, slicing and dicing through the chop like it wasn't there. They were even a blast on the groomers, carving large radius turns like a champ. After skiing this ski I immediately switched to a Dynastar XXL 194 and between the two skis my vote goes to the Goliath hands down. Compared to the XXL these felt like they have a slightly softer tip for better float in pow and felt much more nimble as opposed to the tank feeling of the XXLs. Do not be intimidated by the long length, the 191 is the Goliath you want.
