The Volkl Mantra is a powerhouse. Built like a race horse, it remains stable no matter how fast or hard you push it. This is achieved with the help of a layer of titanium that takes the ski from being solid to downright indestructible. The ski scored better with our larger, hard-charging testers, so if you’re timid or unsure, try something with more play. But if your deal is skiing hard and fast, you need this ski. “This ski is fast, smooth, stable, predictable, well built and very fun all around,” said one of
our larger testers.
