Goliath Snags Backcountry Mag's 09 Editor's Choice Award

Tester's described this ski in single word sentences: " Solid. Powerful. Stable. Damp. AWESOME." One of the longest skis in the test, the Goliath won over testerd with its raw power and edge hold, bu surprised many with its agility. "Skied much shorter than it is," one tester said. "Screams out to go fast, fast, fast, but will patiently arc through the trees," said another. If perfect big-mountain dimensions, oversize 2mm edges, and a stiff flex are the chassis and the suspension of this ski, then the okume/poplar/power rail beech composite core is the engine. "I loved giving this ski everything I've got and getting equal return from my investment," said one giddy Montana skier. "A Caddy Eldorado with a penchant for speed," said another, "this ski has no speed limit, and no fear of any terrain." For dedicated touring, this category dominator is heavy underfoot, but fo sidecountry forays or day trips into the steep and deep, the Goliath inspires "Pure confidence."
