Volkl Mantra Ski - P-53142

The Mantra brought the inner racer out of our testers. Its consistent stability on groomers had everyone absolutely hooting and hollering while its capabilities on the rest of the mountain sealed the deal. More specifically, the Mantra’s multi-layer wood core uses dense ash underfoot and lighter poplar elsewhere, promoting that top-notch stability and allowing some playfulness at the same time. Furthermore, full sidewalls and strips of supportive Titanal allow you to really lay it over on edge with confidence. “This ski obliterates groomers,” oozed one tester. “It loves to take big, smooth turns at high speed—for the speed demon in all of us,” described another.
