The read

Rated for advanced skiers, the Mantra 88 is a versatile all-mountain ski built for groomers, freeride, moguls, and mixed snow. Its three-radius sidecut and rocker-camber-rocker profile support a wide range of turn shapes, while a partial titanal frame and above-median weight lean toward stability and composed performance in variable conditions. Carbon-reinforced tips add liveliness, making this a dynamic but engaged ride that rewards skiers who drive it actively.

Specs & what they mean

What the Mantra 88'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 1,930 g there's real mass behind it.

Float & width

At 88 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
