As far as I can tell the Mantra seems like a ski that you can really lay down some carves on and can handle speed. But I'm curious how it handles in pow, and weather it can be taken through the park? Also Is it a full twin tip?

The mantra is a STIFF ski that rips on groomers and ice, you could ski pow with it , but is way to stiff as a tru powder ski. don't even get near a park with this. ski, way to stiff, also it only has a slight raised tail not a twin tip. It looks like your really looking at your options, your going different direction looking at this ski. don,t be afraid of the blends or prophets, I ski the bacon's that have a 115 waist and fairly soft and they rip on groomers even when its icey and have no speed limit.Yo should know that this is a great powder ski - and it handles the chop that most powder days become in about an hour great because it is stiff. I use this as a touring and resort ski - so it works great in untracked, but handles a front side powder day just great. Remember, at one time this was a really fat ski!And at one time mercedes benz made great cars, now their rating is about a d+ at best--- the times are a changing and the mantra is being left behind.EDIT: True Benz's aren't what they used to be, but the Mantra still kicks A$$, it is NOT being left behind.
