I can’t say enough good things about the Cardiff Goat Carbon skis. As a newer skier, I was struggling to find a ski that could keep up with me as I progressed, but the Goats completely changed the game. From the first run, I felt an instant boost in confidence.
These skis absolutely charge through anything—pow, chop, even firm groomers. Unlike my previous skis (Ripsticks and Quests), the Goats feel stable and predictable in all conditions, without that nervous, chattery feel on steep, hardpack terrain. They just grip and go. But what really sets them apart is how playful they are. Side hits, drops, quick slashes—they do it all with ease, making every run feel like a blast.
If you want a ski that rips but doesn’t punish, stays solid when you need it, and keeps things fun and lively, the Goat Carbon is it. Easily my favorite ski I’ve ever been on.
This ski can do absolutely anything. Light enough to go anywhere and strong enough to ski everything! The rocker shape allows it to bounce around through bottomless pow, while the stiffness underfoot keeps you supported in steep, unforgiving terrain. The tail releases easily and won't get snagged up. It does everything so well that I can't stop reaching for it in the morning.
