Can anybody compare the 184 mantra to the 183 stiff bros? Ive finally narrowed it down to these two skis. Im just kind of concerned with the turn radius of the bro. It seems like it would be tough when your skiing real tight lines.

Personally, I would say the Mantra is the better ski here. If you were leaning more to the Stiff Bros, don't let me dissuade you. The turn radius doesn't make a lot of difference really, it only comes into effect on a hard arc turn. You can throw them sideways, or carve like normal.
