G3 Tonic Ski
Available Colors / Styles
After a long slug up the mountain you reach the ridgeline and pull the skins off of the G3 Tonic Ski. When you look downhill an array of options tempt you. Should you venture in the trees to find softer snow, or carve high-speed turns down the open wind-blasted bowl? The Tonic’s early rise tip and reduced camber underfoot makes it an easy-to-steer, responsive ski in either of these conditions. And if you like to go full throttle the Tonic’s dual-density sidewall helps qualm the high-speed jitters in variable snow conditions.
- Early rise tip and reduced camber underfoot makes it an easy-to-steer, responsive ski in any condition
- Lightweight Paulownia poplar wood core allows you to haul ass up the skin track and then charge back down
- Dual-density sidewall helps qualm the high-speed jitters in variable snow conditions
Bottom Line: Rides both hardpack and pow.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

How does the Tonic (and Saint) measure up against the Volkl Mantra?
I have the 10/11 BD Verdict... very nice ski but a bit soft. I need more dampness and a snappier ski. thinking of the Saint or Tonic... but I keep reconsidering the Mantra. Any suggestions?

Referencing Jeff Chrisler's comment below....
Jeff, of the Tonic and Saint you demo'd... which has more damping and a snappier feel? Does one come closer to feeling like the Mantra?
G3's are coming up on SALE and fits my budget better...

Personally, I don't think you can beat the Mantras. I have tried all the skis you mentioned as many of the resorts have free or very cheap demo days around me. I have two pairs of the Mantras in 170s and 177s, and they just rock. I feel like they can do everything very well. I'd give them a solid 9 out of ten on hardpack, nicely groomed, trees, and moguls. I'd give them a 10 out of 10 in the crud, and a 7 out of ten in pow. Awesome ski, and definitely one for a one ski quiver.

I enjoyed the original Tonic skis... Now the Tonic went on a diet (They made them lighter) So when I tour up I have more energy on the down...I did a Dawn Patrol this am...And the conditions were variable, a little new snow, some ice, and various crud...I felt confident letting these skis go! Good times! I love the new graphics,they kept me stoked whlie I was zoning out on the up track....
