The read

Rated for advanced skiers and built for big mountain, powder, and freeride terrain, this ski pairs a wide waist with rocker-camber-rocker for float and edge grip across variable snow. Its titanal frame and weight place it among the heaviest in the freeride cohort, leaning toward stability and damping over quickness. The three-radius sidecut adds versatility across turn sizes, but the overall package rewards a strong, engaged skier who drives hard in demanding conditions.

Specs & what they mean

What the Mantra 108'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 titanal frame rings the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,230 g it's a planted, composed ski that pushes through rough snow.

Float & width

At 108 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
