I have a pair of both Volkl Gotamas and Kuros. I would like to have to buy one pair of skins. Will these work for both? If not, which skin would you recommend?

How long is the difference between the two skis length? STS tailclips can work for a range of about 10CM. If your skis are drastically different in length, then no, you can't have them on both. If they can work for length, you are talking a large discrepency in underfoot dimensions. Goat is 105 and Kuro is 130, that means if you trim for the goat, you've got 12.5+ mm of slick bottoms on each side of your Kuro... and that could suck hard on a an icy early morning traverse. In a pinch, Yeah, it'd work, but I wouldn't plan on skiing a season like that.
