A great ski

By darksting Ranked #109 - Alpine Fat Skis February 12, 2009

First off i'll say that i am not a 5 star or no star reviewer. seem like everyone likes to give 5 star to something they like, i try to reserve that for something truly exceptional.

That said i think the mantra is a great ski. Demo'd it today in whistler and really liked it. No powder so cant comment on that, but on nearly everything else this ski was real solid. easy to carve, and also its fairly happy to do tight quick wiggles, not bad for a fairly fat ski. Felt solid as a rock on ice, and happily ate its way through crud. Didn't feel quite as comfy going through moguls, but hey, you cant have everything. All in all a great ski, and giving serious thought to buying it. However it didn't blow me away enough to quit searching for alternatives just yet, got a few more skis to try before i make a purchase, but this is at the top of my list so far.
