Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski

When I can't find any POW I am skiing the glads and the bumps....

By Ranked #792 - Alpine Fat Skis April 25, 2009

When I can't find any POW I am skiing the glads and the bumps. I am looking at the Bridge and Mantra. I don't feel I really need anything fatter for the POW I have lots of fun in it now with my "skinny" skis. Which ones would anyone one here suggest. Plus I am cheap so I hate spending retail on anything.

Definitely gonna pick the Mantra over the Bridges in this situation. The only thing the Bridges might be better at is bumps, but that little bit of waist extra here on the Mantra is definitely better for everything else. You might not think that wider skis are necessary, and they aren't, but they are way more fun, and a lot less work, meaning no burn out after all day pow.
