FENG SKUI -- the Harmonious Balance of Man and His Ski

By Ranked #17 - Big Mountain Freeride Skis January 2, 2008

These skis are like a good woman -- no matter how tempted you are to ride something else, something just keeps you coming back. I find every excuse I can to slide these sleek boys out of my quiver.

With almost a 30m turn radius, the Gotamas aren't meant for tight spaces; they are in their element in wide open terrain, preferably floating several feet atop the untracked white stuff.

But don't think these skis are afraid of the groomers. Sure, they aren't lighting fast; but they're a blast arcing powerful GS turns on the cords. It is amazing how much power can be stored and then released in Volkl's solid wood core. And with so much meat underneath, you feel confident in all your landings.

My only complaint with the Gotama is that, similar to a boy on bris, this ski doesn't like to hold a skin.

Don't bother looking any further; these are the ultimate boards for surfing the white horse!
