seths are awesome!  I have the older ones, but the new ones look super dope with the mini rocker in them.

Seths. Or maybe Guns. I think the Gotama is more for BC jibbing than all mountain.

Alright. Big giant threadpost coming through.

New K2 Seths are the best all mountain because they have the mini rocker 3 piece camber in them, which makes them INSANE in the pow, and just as INSANE on hardpack.

New Gotamas are the same as last year, exept for some cosmetics. Pretty much the same ski. Still awesome, but much more of a BC booter ski than say.. the seth, which is better at charging fast in pow and crud.

the Guns are a little more stable than the Gotamas in the crud and hardpack, because they have isoflex plates that line the edges in the tip and tail, allowing for damper, more fine carves, but they are narrower as well, and not as good in the pow.


thats my 0.02$

hmmmmn, not sure about that dude.

179 seths would be kinda perfect for a sort of 40% pow, 30% hardpack, 30% park ratio.
183 gotamas (they ski much shorter) would be better for more pow, less hardpack/park.

I pretty much disagree with everything you just said.  The Gotamas will definitely be the best charging/all mountain ski of the three for sure--always have been and probably always will be.  I think the rocker on the Seths will make them slightly less versatile than the Gotamas, but they'd probably still be good for a little bit of everything.  The Guns would make a fun BC jib/park ski or all mountain ski for lighter guys or someone who likes softer skis.  They're three totally different skis, so it shouldn't be hard to narrow down what you want.
