Volkl Gotama Ski
love the changes

These skis are sick. The mounting point is very crucial with the reverse camber--you don't want to go too far forward as it makes the tip go lower, but if you mount them on center or back, then that might be what causes you to feel your tails washing out. I mount them 2cm forward (I usually mount my skis forward anyways) and find it just right for my weight & skiing style on the 186cm length. Enjoy!

a bit late on the answer for you, Peter; apologies for that!!....but I think that the modifications make it a tiny bit more specific in my opinion. I use the Katanas as an every day ski more now, just because although they are wider, the slight less amount of reverse camber (as compared to the Gotamas) works perfect for me every day, but now that I am used to that, I find the Gotamas more everyday friendly as well. Not sure that makes sense--but basically, reverse camber is something that your skiing style adjusts to over time, I've found, as is ski width.

where would you rate this ski in its versatility when comparing it to previous gotama models? do you find it more deep-snow, big line specific or would you categorize it as an everyday expert resort ski?
