Hello, I want to buy a new ski this season and I thought of this two skies (Volkl Gotama & Dynastar Big Trouble), but the problem is that i don't know witch one to get.
Any sugestions? thanks

If I had to guess i bet the majority of your responses are going to be Gotamas...

I am going to agree GOT's are the way to go..

I love my Gotamas. They are extemely versatile. The more I skied them the more I liked them...They like to be skied very fast. I bought mine a little short (183) so I could whip them around in the trees and it was definitely the right call. They are quick when I want them to be and really damp at high speed.

They're not exactly a direct comparison...Gotama has roughly 13mm more width in the waist. Big Troubles can be found much cheaper as they sometimes come up on Steep OR Cheap.

They are going to be up sometime today if they haven't been on already.

I think Trouble Makers are up today, not Big Troubles....

If you lurk around here or ebay sooner or later a cheap pair of Gots will come thru.

I would find some Gots from last year or this years. It will ski the whole mountain way better than the Dynastars. I ski mine on groom and they rip there and destroy the rest of the mountain.

completely different skis. the gotama will be better if you are more of the charge at everything skier. The big trouble is a fun go everywhere ski with alot of pop, but not a fan of straightlines. that being said if you want a pair of 186 big troubles i have a pair from a couple seasons ago for sale only skied them one season. send me a pm if interested
