hellolooking between these and the 4FRNT VCT for an all mountain/freeride ski. i'm 15 so i only got the moola for one ski. definately an advanced skier. love to charge hard everywhere and rip on groomers and hardpack (groomers are totally pointless unless ur gona rip em hard in my opinion). but being young i love to play in the trees and park. also want a ski that i can feel comfurtable stompin backflips. looking to go 182cm in vct or 183cm in gotama. figure it will it will help me out with park/backcountry jib. any suggestions between the two?-i gotta say the goats look pretty legit tooGRACIAS

You have'nt bought skis yet henry!!!--- hey i was wrong kirkwood got 5ft. and is expecting 3more over the next 1/12 days. Goats are good, but ever ex-racer want tobe powder skier skis them. go for something different. the vct is way better for backcountry jibbing/park use. but like i said at the begining the line blend is still your best option for what you want to do. the gotamas are to stiff for any park use. Also keep in mind that the gotamas the last 2 years have had lots of core problems. since they switched to a lighter core bindings have been pulling out. at my local shop in tahoe it was the most problemmatic ski they sold last year because of it, evertime i post something about it the volkl lovers erase it, there are way better skis out there then the goats, just think outside the box. Come on henry you already know to buy prophet 100 over these.- wow you get 5ft i get 2in, aint life unfair. anyways my friends got the blends and it would just be too boring if we were skiing the same skis
