A few ski manufacturers still think toy-like skis are child's play, but Volkl knows that kids' skis are serious business, and that's why the Volkl Gotama Jr. is one of the best youth-oriented soft-snow skis you'll find on the mountain this season. Instead of just selling a wide-sized ski in kid-sized dimensions, Volkl did the math and figured out that while wider skis are ideal for soft snow, smaller riders might lack the leg strength required for making turns in ungroomed backcountry powder. That's why they designed the Volkl Gotama Jr. with an innovative ELP rocker shape specifically for kids. As the Gotama Jr. sinks into powder the ELP rocker shape helps channel the snow, so there is less hassle with pushing snow around and complete emphasis on making controlled turns--when and where your child wants to turn on the mountain. Volkl refined the wide shape for great floatation and just enough of a cut for good control on groomed, park and pipe terrain. It's made with a lively Sensorwood core for great flex and features Volkl's Power construction for improved control in a lightweight, easy-turning profile. The Gotama Jr. is best suited for intermediate to expert kid skiers and it's an ideal choice for kids who tend to spend more time on untracked and varied mountain terrain, especially during those times in the ski season when the snow accumulates in deep powder stashes.
With burly 106mm waists and plenty of backcountry prowess, the Völkl Gotamas dominate big-mountain powder lines.
Volkl® created the Gotama for the big time skier who wants to bring the park tricks to the top of the mountain
Changing such an iconic ski could only be done if we improved it. The new Gotama features an all new shape of 137-106-122mm. The powder and switch-riding performance is incredible, and yet skiers who want to use it as an every day ski will have greater versatility. Leave it to Völkl to introduce what just a few years ago would have been inconceivable: a rockered, big mountain twin tip that you can use every day at the resort.
Volkl Gotama Jr. Skis 2010: The Gotama Jr. will revolutionize soft snow skiing for kids. When you put a young skier on an 80mm or even wider ski, it creates a great deal of force to push against. The benefit of using an ELP rocker shape for kids is huge – as they sink down in the powder they maintain a maneuverability that allows them to focus more on making turns and less on pushing snow around.
Volkl Gotama Skis 2009: Go big or go home, right? Well, you can for sure go big on the Volkl Gotama skis. The Gotama skis were originally made as Volkl’s backcountry twin tip (and still dominate the category). However, these bad boys have had a change of heart and have been reinvented for the big-mountain skier who wants the ultimate versatility all over the mountain.
When your small shredder progresses to the point of needing an adult all-mountain fat ski, except pint-sized, turn to the Volkl Kids’ Gotama Jr. Ski. This powder slayer boasts the same fat shape, burly construction, and rocker technology found in the adult version of the celebrated Gotama Ski, and it comes sized to help young ones develop their full potential.

YESS!!! | |
| Rating: |  |
| These boards are sick!!! They float in the pow great, but still have the sidecut for groomers and hardpack. If you want a one ski quiver to do everything, the gotama is tough to beat. | |
