Ive skied Gotama's, Made'ns, and Salomon Gun Labs (aka this years Gun) and of the 3 I liked the Gun the best.
Gotamas were fun but stiff and long turning.
Made'ns were soft and fun but the 179 was too short for me.
Salomons were a pefect balance of turnability and stability. And I will be using them when I go to Silverton next week.
