Lambone Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Skied three days, gettinga longer size. They are badass... The Volkl Gotama Ski has proven once again to be one of the most versatile skis in the market today. The Gotama has an updated graphic for the '08 season, but more importantly it is slightly stiffer. The new Volkl Gotama skis are about 5% stiffer than any previously made Volkl Gotama in the mid body of the ski. The Volkl Gotama will continue to be one of the most versatile skis on the market with the new Power/Tough Box construction. Although the new Gotama is stiffer it is just as nimble as the old, just more versatile when you are on firm snow or heavy snow. The core is all new with the Power/Tough Box construction which uses a dual layer wood core, with the bottom half of the core utilizing a lighter wood. This still gives the ski a nice smooth, even, flex. There is also extra fiberglass wraps in the midbody of the ski that provides resistance to the binding pulling out. This will still give those of you who ski deep snow the great flotation you want and those of us who have to ski groomers sometime better edge hold and more ability to plow through crud. The present season's Volkl Gotama has paid off and with an updated graphic the Gotama will remain a go-to-newschool backcountry ski for next season. For the good big-mountain skier who wants the ultimate versatility in bringing park tricks to the huge parts of the mountain. Features: - Power/Tough Box Construction - Dual Layer Sensorwood - Twin Tip '08 Volkl Gotama Skis Dimensions: 133-105-124 Turn Radius: 23.5m@ 176 cm Quote
