Finishing the quiver...

I believe I will close in on a pair of brand new Völkl Gotamas in 183 cm. I also have now a pair of Legend 8000 with Freerides. Maybe if there is no much difference in weight between the Legends 8000s and the Gotamas, I will change the Freerides to the Gotamas and get some Look Pivots for the 8000s. This might allow for:

- a Big Mountain / Powder setup that can be used both backcountry and in-piste on big days (Gotamas/Freerides),
- a lightweight AT setup for long/multi-day touring on thin days (Atomic R9/Diamir III),
- a proper in-piste midfat (what many call "everyday ski") for the softer crud days and warm afternoons full of slush (8000s/Pivots) and
- an in-piste ski for hard snow/ice use (Völkl Allstar).

What do you think of the quiver? Or should I rig the Gotamas with fixed heels bindings and leave the Freerides on the 8000s? I don't want to spend more money in another pair of Freerides or Naxos when I can get a Look PX or Pivot cheaply...

buy some fat skis, then you have a quiver.

LOL @ "finishing the quiver"

I don't live neither in Colorado nor in Utah, "dude". 105mm. makes up for more than I need in a powder ski for my weight and size, but thanks anyway for the unsolicited advise.

Now, what do you think of changing the Freerides to the Gotamas, "dude"?

Just mount the freerides on the gotamas and be done with it. They're surprisingly versatile and I can't remember a time where I wish I had more ski than my got's.
