The one-ski-quiver question...

[PEPEskiador]

Everybody,
Which ski do you think is the most "one-ski-quiver" or everyday board of these. I´m 5.9f - 187lb Intermediate-advanced freerider - BC and a little park-experience to improve:

- Salomon 1080 Gun
- K2 Seth or maden AK
- Völkl Gotama or Mantra
- Head Mojo 90, supermojo 105, Monster im88
- Rossi Bandit B4 or Scratch
- Atomic Sugar Daddy or Pimp

Why only one? Because we have very varible condition in our stations and I don´t like to carry too much gear...
Any experiences to share/binding positions/lenghts?

Thanks!!!

[Dromond]

I ski the K2 Chief (very similar to the Seth) and find it to be extremely versatile. If I lived somewhere that was just a bit bigger or where it snowed just a bit more they would be my everyday ski.

Holy Fucking Deja Vu!

JONG

[marshalolson]

the new gotama. best one ski quiver out there. period.

[PEPEskiador]

Thank you Dromond...

Yes: holy-fuckin´deja vú! Do you have something good to say/advise/experiences to share? Please, that would be great!
Now I´m in Tech talk, so I hope nobody´s gonna fuck around here and "virtually" try to fight in this forum (because face to face i´m sure they´ll run away). I hope I´ll stablish a frendly diallogue here and get as more advises/experiences as I can.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS/EXPERIENCES???

Thank you guys!!!

(because face to face i´m sure they´ll run away).

You're 5'-9", 185. Yeah, that's kind of intimidating!

Edit: The common consensus around here will be the Gotama for a one-ski quiver.

Friendly dialogue on TGR - not that's funny!

THANK YOU marshalolson! I saw your analysis/detailed list here and is very orientative! Cool, your opinion is a very important reference! Where do you think I should mount the bindings?
Thank you!

Guys, about PRockets 1080 gun: why everybody says that they are awesome but short-life skis 8and that they are great while they are "alive"). In fact, nobody sells them, I don´t know if it is because they are in love with them or they destroyed them...

THANXS!

[pechelman]

ive not been on a gotama of any vintage, but right now my "1-ski" is a 186 LP.
i do have other skis though

ive been on 182 VCTs which have a nearly identical gotama sidecut, but wasnt extremely happy on them. Skied too short in terms of edge, mount point, and surface area. obviously this is a different ski than the gotama.

re mounting your gotama
190 maybe +1
183 on the line
pure guesses

[PowTron]

Gotama or Line Prophet 100

May I suggest a demo of any of these skis? I mean, Marshal is a superman, we all know this, but you may ski very different than him, and you are also shorter and lack the basic Colorado steeze...

Sorry for my post, but I´m sick of these stupid "internet threateners" that can only feels like "machos" behind their PCs. Instead of using this places to express opinions, helps other mountain-kamarades, they just speak like if they were seth Morrison or the "freeride galactic champs". Iám not a great skier, and this is one of my learning places, that´s why this pissted me-off!

Sorry.

Thanks for your advice about the Goats!

Dude, just stick to the topic and save the BS for some one who cares.

Go with the biggest, widest, stiffest ski you can get your hands on. Then go out and ski.

And for you dn4989, you have so much to learn. I´m shure your Grandma post there to ask about the last "Mattel - Aspen Mt. Barbie" you´ve asked her for christmas... i won´t spend more time with you, so fuck-you & see you in the steeps.

Adios!

[tromano]

Any of the skis you listed could be a good 1SQ if it fits your style, home mountain terrain, and you get the right size.

You have a REAL knack for offending people...learn how to take a joke, and do not lash out with your Napoleon complex at everyone who posts here....

that being said, as I stated before...GO ski these skis before you buy....

an intermediate-advanced skier would get their ASS handed to them by some skis, but be able to ride a lot of other ones great...

Had something to say, but then the JONG sense of entitlement changed my mind.

I've got 183 goats in the traditional mount with S912ti, love them. They only suck on super hard pack and it takes a bit more to edge them than PR.

I also have a pair of PR's...noodles. The Goats are wood tip to tail, the PR1080 or any Salomon are foam and top sheets. The Goats plow through crud and death cookies, PR's chatter and suck. Plus PR do fall apart very easily.

I did ski a pair of 188 Bro's in stiffs and loved them. A lighter ski, better for long days, but rides lighter than the Goats too. Still plows through everything AND is better on groomer, more side cut less waist.

wrong
188 Bros have less sidecut than any gotamas in a 183. (even 190s for that matter)

[PEPEskiador]

Dn / Powtron, you are right. I´m sorry. I had a hell of a day working and I took personally a simple joke. I´m really sorry If´I´ve been "Nopoleonistic".
Sorry Guys! Please, accept my appologises. PEACE!

After this: so, it seems the Goats stilll win the match. Its like some of you told me, it wil be the winner since the begining.

OK, thank you all!

I ski the K2 Chief (very similar to the Seth) and find it to be extremely versatile. If I lived somewhere that was just a bit bigger or where it snowed just a bit more they would be my everyday ski.

Where do you live?

[Dromond]

Where do you live?

Northeastern US. 100"-200" annual snowfall and lots of trees, JONG.
