Volkl Mantra or Gotoma? Leaning toward Mantra. Just moved to SF Bay area from East Coast and will ski Tahoe + one trip to Vail. Probably glades and steeps 60% and fast, groomed runs 40%. Aggressive and BIG skier....6'3" and 235lb. Thinking Mantra in a 191 with Marker Jester bindings.

i actually prefer the gotama in the trees, plus you have more underfoot for when it dumps

I'd say go with the Mantra. It's far more versatile than the Gotama, IMO. Very stable at high speeds and on edge. You may even want to look at the 184. The 191 may be a bit cumbersome in the trees. Go with the Marker Jester bindings for sure. If you want to add a second fat alpine ski to compliment the Mantra, I highly recommend making a solid two-size jump up in waist dimensions. Look for something in the 116-125MM range. I ski a 177 Mantra w/Marker Comp1400's for All Mountain, and a 183CM (123MM Waist) Atomic Bent Chetler w/Marker Jesters for Big Mountain.
