I'm an ex-racer, 6'2 - 235. Looking for a stiff "race type" ski that will charge on Squaw Valley powder days. Trying to decide between the Legend Pro Rider and Volkl Mantra. In addition to handling heavy powder at Squaw, I need a ski that can charge power turns on groomers. Concerned the LP could be too straight.

Hey Dan C. 6'2", 235lb and an ex-racer would demolish the new Legend Pros because they were softened after the 07/08 model. The Mantras would suit you a bit better stiffness wise, but a little small for a pow day at 96mm waist. I would suggest the Dynastar Pro XXL in either size (187cm if you like to turn a little, 194cm if you just straight up charge. It is a wider and stiffer traditional camber ski for sure), the Atomic Atlas in a 192cm (Atomic's race pedigree integrated into a huge, rockered pow ski) and if you want to buy American, try out the Moment Garbones in a 192cm (Will plow through anything). Hope this helps.
