Best one ski quiver

By Jess McMillan Ranked #193 - Alpine Fat Skis March 27, 2010

The Gotama just keeps getting better. I love the rocker in the tip and tail. It is the best steep skiing ski I have ever ridden. The rocker allows the ski to bend to the terrain and stays very forgiving. You can smear or jump into another turn with ease. I never worry about stuffing a tip with the rocker out in front.

Amazingly, the Gotama can carve groomers with the best of them. Put the ski on edge and the entire effective edge bites and you can push the ski into small radius turns or let it run for big super g turns. As expected, the Gotama is great in powder. It floats and you can carve or smear your way down the mountain. Rocker is amazing! You can pick how you want the ski to act. The only downside of the Gotama is it not as damp as skis with metal in them.

When packing my bag, if I can bring only one ski, I choose the Gotama with the Duke. This is my go anywhere and do anything one ski quiver.
