Hi. Based on the product description, the Goliath Sluff sounds like the sort of ski I'm looking for. I want something for my trips out west that will handle the powder but will also be quick in the trees when the bowls get skied out. My question: what's its performance like on firmer snow? Most of my skiing is done off-piste at resorts like Alta, Snowbird and Jackson, but I still ski the occasional groomer. Does the Goliath Sluff reflect an AT heritage that might be reflected in its performance on harder packed surfaces? Thanks for any help. Steve

I bought this ski (Goliath 184 cm - same as this year's Sluff) late last Winter as a pow and deep stuff quiver ski. I ski mostly in the PNW, Mt Hood Meadows and Crystal plus I spend allot of time down at Mammoth and some days in Tahoe. I have ridden several Movement skis the Freeheel (two variants) and the Thunder. All wonderful skis. By season's end this (Goliath) was the main ski I was riding. Surprisingly quite good on the hard stuff. Last April I skied 4-days at Mammoth mostly doing all the stuff off Chair 23 and 9. Started out hard ice and would progress to corn and crud on the same run. These skis did really well and were the only skis I used for everything. Wonderful snappy, all-mountain ski. Completely changed my idea what a big ski in length and profile can do and how versatile they could be. Skied them last year mounted tele with BD 01/Ridstiffs. This season I am going to use telemark NTN bindings. If the 174 cm was available last season (it wasn't) I would have gotten them--mostly to save some ounces for touring. Still I have found the 184's skis surprisingly short when you need them to be and they ski long and stable when you feel the need to roll.
