Here at the Ski Barn, we take skiing quite seriously. We work hard so that we can play hard. Fortunately, the wonderful companies we represent help us out and get us into gear so that we can thrash it and talk it up to customers. Our decisions on what we buy for ourselves are not influenced by the companies. We do not take bribes so that we sell more of one brand over another. For the most part, they are influenced by what we find works best. We get to take all the gear out and demo equipment all year long so that when the time comes to get our own, we know exactly what works best for us.
Here is a look at what the 2009/2010 Ski Barn crew is rocking and destroying this year.

Kevin is the author of this article and #1 product destroyer. He has been with the Ski Barn for 4 years and has a huge problem with keeping bindings mounted to skis. If he thinks it can be jumped, he will probably try.

What a sweet ride these were! Volkl outdid themselves and completely redesigned the Gotama this year. Everything about this ski changed except for how awesome it truly is. And changing such an iconic ski wouldn’t have been done unless they improved it.
The introduction of ELP (Elongated Low Profile) rocker design allows skiers easy maneuvering of reverse-camber ski design without sacrificing groomed-snow performance. Score! More versatile. The profile features a smooth gradual bend toward the nose and tail. It is high enough to float in powder, but when you tip the ski on edge, there is more consistent edge contact. This is a good thing.
It also now comes with 3 (count them 1, 2, 3) flex zones. The front of the ski is stiff- since the rocker design (which did not come in previous years) is pre-flexed, added stiffness in front provides stability. The flex in the mid-body of the ski is medium, providing a transition into the softer tail, which allows ease of turning on the groomed, and maneuverability in the powder. WOW!
The graphics this year are also oh so sweet. After several years of gaudy graphics(more specifically the gold of 07/08 and the black/neon of 08/09) the Gotama is back with a classy new suit. The wood grain really does it for me.
Wider this year(137-106-122) than last(133-105-124) you can bet that you float in the deep stuff. It is also a very light ski that makes it favored by AT skiers.
Overall the ski really impressed me, and the fact that they built it for in-bounds skiing as well as out should make it a go to choice for anyone that spends time on the frontside, backside, in-bounds, or out-of-bounds. Learn it, live it, love it, SHRED IT!
OH YEAH…. they made it in a Junior modal as well. Gonna be some stoked mini-shredders out there!
