Volkl Mantra Alpine Ski

Item #VKL0040 | 0 in Stock

I've been looking for a ski just like this for awhile, good...

By Ranked #776 - Alpine Fat Skis March 28, 2009

I've been looking for a ski just like this for awhile, good groomer, and good in moderate powder and crud. I ski the atomic gs12 race stock and need something aggressive and fairly stiff, how does the stiffness of these compare, and how do they handle in the park?(jumps only)

Thanks

volkls are generally on the stiffer side of the spectrum and as such are more suited to freeride than freestyle. If you wear a pack or weigh a little bit more than average for your height, then the stiffness is negated somewhat. I think mantras are fine in the park unless you are talking about throwing huge airs. It all depends on just how aggressive you are skiing

I don't know if I would want to jump with a ski as stiff and heavy as the mantra unlesss I was landing in powder, I can feel the pain in my lower back already.
