Völkl Mantra (2008)
Testers liked the Mantra’s turn execution, turn stability, and hard-snow grip. Though lightweight, it throttled down crud and chewed groomers at all speeds.
Props
Precise yet floaty in crud.
Gripes
A wider footprint would improve powder flotation.
Tester's Take
"Versatile and ready to rage in all conditions." —Matt Ross
PRICE (MSRP): $795.00
