Volkl Gotama Alpine Ski
March 15, 2009
Im 5'6", 150lbs, is this a good ski for me to use on the east coast? I mostly ski Sugarloaf and Saddleback, and avoid groomers at all costs. Does it handle ice/hardpack/death cookies? What size should I get.

K2 Apache Pontoon Alpine Ski
January 30, 2009
Skis with tail rocker are difficult to tele on due to our weight distribution being more towards the rear of the ski (you get the wheelie effect really easily). You should check out the Black Diamond Megawatts, which have a huge rockered tip, but a flat tail for tele stability. Plus, I've heard mixed reviews about the Pontoons...I saw a nice tele video on you tube, and one athlete had pontoons with tele bindingsheres the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjjZoU_05P8
