Well, I got a pair of gotamas, and they rock everything except for hard pack. They kick on pow, crud, corn, even soft groomers, but on the hard pack in the east (where I'm originally from), they are hurtin' units. 104mm underfoot...what do you expect?

i would roll with the JP's...they're light and kill it in the pow.

I really like the p4's too...

GOATS!!!! Probably not the choice if you spend time in the park, but they will kill everything on the mountain, float in the POW and for 100+ underfoot will hold an edge on the hard stuff. If money is not an issue I don't know why you would consider anything else.
