Volkl Gotama Ski
Sick Sticks!

Ranked #262 - Alpine Fat Skis

I picked up a pair of these in the middle of last season. My first impression was that they are gonna be just OK. Wow, i was impressed. These Skis rock. They definitely love being in the powder and do well in chop also. They tend to plane out better at higher speeds, and handle very nice going faster also. I didnt experience any hookiness or instability either. These skis are definitely an upgrade form the previous years gotamas. there faster, fatter, more playful, and more fun overall. I would highly recommend these to someone lookig for a mid 100 waisted ski that rips.

to answer Jluecht, Im pretty sure the 09/10, 10/11 models are close to the same, althought the 10/11s have a partial cap construction, as the 09/10s have sidewall. Im not sure if the weight maybe slightly different due to this, but i would imagine the 10/11 to be more durable because of this. as far as the Specs are concerned, the turning radius are the same, and the other specs are the same also. ----- To answer Twi, I have skied the 05/06, 06/07, and the 07/08 models.

Is there a difference between 09/10 and 10/11 models?

I have the '09's and it's the best pair of skis I've ever owned. Excellent in bumps, believe it or not, provided, of course, you know what your doing to begin with. Last season I had two experts/sales people tell me the 10's actually lost some quality from the '09's.

Vince, My post would duplicate yours. I had the solid black top Gotama and thought they were awesome. I couldn't believe how much better these skis perform. They are stable straight lining down a groomer to the lift and even better off-piste than than the previous model. Jim

"These skis are definitely an upgrade form the previous years gotamas." Up to what year are you referring to?
