What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I skied the M7 Mantra Ski on a firm, fast groomer day and felt an immediate boost in confidence carving through variable snow at speed. The Tailored Titanal Frame kept the ski planted even when I pushed hard into steeper pitches later in the day."Frontside days built for speed and confidence are where the Volkl M7 Mantra Ski feels most at home, tearing through groomers and firm snow with a stability that invites you to push harder with every run. We've carved wide open corduroy at first chair and chased variable snow into the afternoon on this ski, feeling it hold a stable, powerful edge no matter how aggressively we leaned into a turn. The 4D Radius Drive sidecut gives quick turn initiation up front while staying stable at speed once the terrain opens up, and the Tailored Carbon Tips place fiber exactly along stress lines for precise handling at the front of the ski. A Tailored Titanal Frame scales stiffness to each length, so the power transmission and dampening feel matched to the ski underfoot rather than a one size fits all build.
