The Line Sir Francis Bacon is a really good ski for just about everything, from groomers to hand drags. And you know what's really fun? Being on a ski that's good at. 2007/2008 Gotama review. Volkl Gotama. Hi Guys. When I originally wrote the description of the '0. Gotama it was just like Sierra Jim said unchanged for the '0. I too was told that the ski was going to be the same when I ordered. We received our first 4. Gotama's this week and I have the luxury of being owed a pair and mounted them up and did some good ole East Coast hard pack skiing yesterday and last night. I do not have a lot of time to spend in chat rooms as I answer a lot of emails and phone calls on a daily basis and am constantly working on getting more product on the site and thus do not get to spend as much time as I would like on Epic. I have been in the Industry for many years and those of you who know me know that I am a straight shooter and tell it how it is. I do however like to inform people when they can get the new product and how it performed. I have been on every version of the Gotama and although having the super soft flex of the old Gotama was nice, it did lack some ummmf. The same ummmfff that made the Exploiv such a popular ski and the reason Volkl realized they needed to make the new '0. Mantra wider and '0. Mantra stiffer. 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 utalizing 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. The ski is at least 1. 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. Cirquerider I appreciate your comments. I have lived in many parts of the country including Mammoth so I know the snow that typically you guys get out there. After skiing the new Gotama I feel that it is a good thing. Volkl Gotama Skis 2008 sku# 13212. The cornerstone of the Volkl freeskiing line, the Volkl Gotama Ski is one bad-ass big mountain twin. Volkl Freeskiing Gotama 2008 ski review with ski stats. Volkl Freeskiing Gotama 2008. Volkl mantra vs volkl gotama. I am a pretty small at 5'6. The 1. 83cm was the length I ended up getting since it is actually more like a 1. The ski did not deflect like the my '0. Gotama's did. I do like my older ones if I am in the bumps as they just absorb everything that comes it way. I have got to try out almost every important ski for 2. East Coast.'0. 8 Volkl Gotamahttp: //www. We have 3. 5 pairs left in stock and I can tell you that the ski is not the same and you will see that when you get your's in. As much as I like my rep's, you know they are many times the last to actually find out when something has been changed. From a selling stand point I felt they should have left the ski alone as it sold very quickly for me, but I feel with the increased stiffness under foot and after skiing them last night the ski is still very smooth and the tip and tail were not as stiff as they felt in the shop, but trust me when I say, they are stiffer all the way through the ski. I have been skiing, selling, and buying skis for many years and I actually have a degree in Ski Industry Business so you can be assured the information (IS True). I hope that helps explain it. I skied my JJs west coast/east coast all year: ice, crud, pow, hardpack, and I am going to keep my karmas only for park now. Lots of east coasters have been rocking 1. And when I say lots I mean atleast 1. Seriously though no question that Mantras and Gots are great skis, there is just more choice out there for all round skis that do well in powder then there was in 2.
