The read

The Mantra 102 W is a women's freeride ski built for advanced skiers tackling off-piste, powder, mixed snow, and groomers. Its partial titanal frame and above-average weight for its freeride cohort lean toward stability and damping, while tailored carbon tips and a three-radius sidecut support quicker, more versatile turn shapes than most freeride skis in the catalog. Tip and tail rocker aid float and initiation, making this a composed, demanding ski that rewards advanced women who push hard across varied terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Mantra 102 W's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A three-radius sidecut blends a shorter radius at the tip and tail with a longer one underfoot, so turn shape changes with how hard the ski is driven — tighter entry, longer and steadier through the arc.

Stability & dampness

A partial titanal frame stiffens the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,120 g there's real mass behind it.

Float & width

At 102 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
