Volkl Gotama Alpine Ski

By Ranked #627 - Alpine Fat Skis April 4, 2009

I'm moving to Alaska and looking for a one quiver backcountry set-up. Leaning towards Gotamas with Barons. Demo'd both the goats and Rossi S6s. The S6s were fun, but the goats ripped--felt powerful, dampening, fast, and responsive. BUT I haven't been able to demo the Line Sir Francis Bacons or the Dynastar Huge Troubles. Has anyone had experience with these such that they can compare? (I'm 150, so I expect the 183 goats would have enough float for me in deep pow, but didn't try)
