Im 5'6", 150lbs, is this a good ski for me to use on the east coast? I mostly ski Sugarloaf and Saddleback, and avoid groomers at all costs. Does it handle ice/hardpack/death cookies? What size should I get.

My experience is in the Midwest and Western states. The Gotamas are to much ski for Michigan. They require more than 3 or 4 hundred feet of vertical to wake them up. I skied them at Jackson Hole and they can chew up any ice/hardpack/death cookies you can throw at them and naturally yearn for Pow. 150 is pretty light. Lean to the shorter size if your wavering. Its a pretty beefy ski. Read my review above.
