I got a pair of the Goats last season in a 190....any difference in the new model Goats this year? I was also toying with the idea of getting the new Goats in a 183 or the Mantras in a 177 or 184 for days with less snow or tracked up...I'm 5"10 230...Ski in VT and vacation out west and in BC !

I agree with the second guy, Mantra 177 on the East, Gotama 183 on the West.

Same ski, different graphics. Not sure I see the reason in getting the same pair of skis just 7cm shorter. If you want a different feeling ski, get a different ski. The mantras may handle the crud a little better but I don't think you're gonna notice that much of a difference between the skis.Disagree - the Mantra and Gotamas are different skis. A Mantra in a 177 is great choice for east coast skiing, but go 184 if more in the west
