I'm interested in the S7 and the Volkyl Gotama. Which is superior in the crud, the powder, the hardpack? Which is more maneuverable in the trees?

This is the ski for you, once you get past the playfulness. I have found these to be far more versatile than any ski I have ever owned before, and that includes both gotama's and the much lauded JJ's. If you need stiffer get the Super S7's but these skis really are unbelievable.

I just demo'ed these and both are good powder skis. There wasn't a ton of deep snow, but they both were easy to turn and maneuver in the powder, especially the S7. The Gotama was the stiffer ski and in the really icy chop was smoother. The S7 had the definite advantage on hardpack and you can carve using the short traditionally cambered section. The S7 was versatile, forgiving at low speed, and great in powder, but the Gotama might be the better choice for a more aggressive skier not too worried about groomer performance.
