Black Diamond Outlaw Winter Pack - 1831-1939cu in

September 11, 2009

There's no sizing for the outlaw on the sizing chart. What size should I get if my torso is 22-23 in? I have a s/m covert that fits fine, yet according to this sizing chart I should have an XL???

Do these have a removeable sole like the Zzeus? If not, will they fit a Marker Duke?

Confused

Volkl Gotama Alpine Ski

Volkl Gotama Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 3 February 17, 2009

I'm confused by all you people who say these skis rip in the crud??? Have you ever actually skied a true all-mountain ski? I've skied the tried and true Volkl Supersport 6 for years. These are Volkl's successors to the G3. The Supersports 6 is stiff and grinds through crud and holds to the hard pack anywhere. I bought the Gotama's this year hoping to get some more lift in the powder. Unfortunately, in Colorado our powder doesn't last long before it turns to wind slab or sun crust. I've got 30 days so far, and not one powder day. I see enough people skiing the Gomtama in all conditions though so I thought I'd give them a try on a non-powder day. Big mistake. These skis chattered on the steep hard pack and made me work twice as hard as normal. I ski a 115 flex Nordica Blower, so it's not like the boots aren't stiff enough. Also, the skis are fat, so they don't necessarily "carve" on groomers, but more glide. In powder I'm sure these puppies rip, but you guys skiing them every day are missing out on what a stiff ski can provide you.

Bottom line: These are a specialty ski and should be used as such. Otherwise you're wasting your energy and money.

Black Diamond Avalung II

February 1, 2009

IN an avalanche your pack could get ripped off, rendering your avalung useless. Get the stand alone.
