Volkl Mantra Skis - Men's - '09/'10

The all-purpose Volkl Mantra could well be the only skis you'll need. They float high in powder and carve across the mountain with impressive performance. Ski's design is quick and responsive across all terrain and in all conditions, and 96mm waist offers enough flotation to enjoy the occasional powder stash. Sensorwood core consists of vertically laminated poplar and beech woods, providing responsive, powerful turning and torsional rigidity. 2 titanium sheets increase torsional resistance and damp vibrations without adding cumbersome weight. Dimension-3 sidecut results in an elongated sidecut shape that, when engaged, contacts the snow evenly for an exceptionally smooth ride. Low tip shape smooths out your ride on the groomed runs and resists diving in soft snow. Vertical sidewalls provide excellent grip, stability and sensitivity. Armed Edge system anchors the edges to the ski via functional Volkl logos that increase strength, resist pull-out and up the cool factor. Directional twin-tip construction excels when skiing forward and gives you the option of riding switch if you need. Requires bindings with wide brakes.
