I ski 50/50 between Utah and New England, ~30 days/season. Looking for a good all mountain telemark ski that I can mount some hammerheads on....What are the benefits of a ski like the Rapid Transit vs. mounting tele bindings on like a Volkl Mantra or something?

i see many reasons to go with the rapid transit over the mantra. first it is a better made ski. i think when volkl moved their operation from Germany they quality went down hill. next the RT side cut is better for tele turns. the RT flex is a more progressive flex, the mantra is more like a board the whole way down. i am sure you will be happy with the RT. enjoy!
