Volkl gotamas mantras and katanas

can only speak on behalf of the Gotamas.. but They are just beautiful playing around in the deeper stuff, - but for me the full rocker didnt work well for me on the groomers. Only a minor barb for a other wise incredible ski! as you are looking for something a bit all rounder ... hows about the Solomon shoguns.... rode em once.. im am far form an expert, but the felt more comfy on the groomers I think they have a stiff tail...

happy hunting

It depends on where you're skiing the most. The Katana is def a powder board, and the 2010 Goat has rocker, so it may not be ideal depending on where you ski. The Mantra is prolly the closest to the Blend but def not a park ski - way too stiff. Also consider the Bridge. In order to know what's best for you, we need a lot more info. They're all great skis but more for all-mt use. If you're planning on park sessioning, I'd probably consider the Blend as your strongest choice.

id say the gotama.

or the bridge, i'll make a strong case for the bridge.
that ski is absolutely bomber, and will take whatever you throw at it outside of the park.

the gotama is the same way, but imo the bridge would make a better all mtn. choice.

katanas and mantras, really aren't very fun skis imo, the katana feels a bit dead, and the mantra just doesnt do it for me.

if ur doing any park at all, u can extract the mantra and the katana from ur choices, as well as the 2010 gotoma, check out the bridge, 92 underfoot, can handle the park, and awesome for all mtn riding.

next years bridges have a bit of rocker to them
