What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've run these as my daily driver all season, from firm morning groomers to chopped up afternoon snow, and they never feel overwhelmed either way. The Titanal frame gives them a planted, confident feel at speed that a lot of all-mountain skis just don't have."Some skis get relegated to a single kind of day, but the Mantra 102 Skis are built for whatever the mountain decides to throw at us, firm groomers first thing, chopped up variable snow by midday, a little powder if we're lucky. We push them hard into every kind of terrain without easing off, and they answer every time with the same planted, confident feel. It's the ski we reach for when we don't know exactly what the day holds and don't want to have to think about it. That reliability comes from a build that leans on real metal and real engineering. A Titanal frame runs along the sidewall and into the tip and tail, delivering the stability and dampening that lets us charge hard without the ski getting rattled by rough snow. Carbon tips keep the front end light and responsive despite all that metal, and the 3D Radius sidecut lets us hold long, committed arcs on groomers or snap into tighter turns the moment the terrain demands it.
