Goats Vs. Bro 183s's

Did a search but could not find anything comparing these two. Those of you who have been on both how do you think they compare. I have been a Volkl man for quite a while but would like to give the Bros a try. These would be my everyday ski. I am also looking st the Mantra. I currently use AC4's I like them but am getting tired of the piece of shit Marker system bindings (they preleased on me again today). My powder ski is a Sanouk but I am thinking of replacing them with the Kuro for next year. The Bros sound like the may be just what I'm looking for. A somewhat stiff crudbusting go everywhere do everything ski. If $$$ works out I would like to be on the Bro 183s and the Kuro 185s next year. Any opinions on this two ski quiver? I ski Northern Utah. Mostly Beaver but do make it down to the Salt Lake resorts several times a year.

You should get the eBRO's as they come with robots and laser beams!!


eBRO=FKNA!!

Damn, laser beams!!! Thats what I want. Will the robots go the the fridge and get me a beer?

I have a pair of 183 gots mounted with Dynafits for BC, and I demoed the 183 bros yesterday at Solitude - conditions were cut-up chunky crud, so not really a fair side by side comparison (haven't skied the gots in crud yet but I have a lot of pow days on them). The bros were crud busting machines, also fun on the groomers if you're into that. Way stiffer then last years gots. I really liked the bros where I could eye up my line and let them run. They were more work vs. the gots when I was picking my way thru a tight line/trying to find the line and having to put the ski where I needed them to go. Wasn't much powder to be found yesterday so I didn't get to link turns in it, but the bros seemed to work fine in the few spots I found. I would have to ski them in real pow to get a true impression though. For a crud ski I would pick the bro over the gots, esp. if you already have powder boards.

sfotex,

Since you are skiing Gots and bros, why don't you sell me your camo Praxis?:D

Here is the link to the same question from a few weeks back http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...d.php?t=108505.
I just got my 183's last week and the construction looks incredible. I have not skied them yet and will post a review as soon as I do. I currently have the 179's stiffs from two years ago and I love them. The only issue I had with them was the camber was alot so in pow the tips tended to dive a bit. The issue has been taken care of and they look freaking perfect. The new line also seems to be a bit stiffer than the previous runs.

Thanks Larry. Good info. Guess I'm just a search Jong.

Go see skifishbum at Soli and demo the Bro 183 (he might even have some Gots to compare, but I think they are bigger) You will like the Bros.:)
