Killer Mantra's 2 years in a row

I disagree with the above posting. My 177cm Mantra's with Z12 Ti bindings are the lightest ski's i've ever had on my feet. My 170cm Tornado's are even heavier. I recently tried a 189cm K2 Obsethed with a Griffon binding and OMG, after a couple hours my knees were already tired of being on the long chairlifts. Thought the K2 was a great ski but the weight is not for me, typical K2 though. My wife just bought a pair of Aura's and she thinks they are super light as well. The Mantra is a very hard ski to beat for an everyday no matter what condition ski. Carves like a race ski, super quick when needed, good bomber, the tip does dive some in powder, and a little rough riding when the snow gets choppy. The metal in it is responsible for this I'm sure. Haven't found a ski yet that puts a bigger smile on my face than the Mantra but am still out there looking. Trying an Rossi S6 next.
