The read

A versatile all-mountain ski built for advanced women who want to move freely between groomers, moguls, and mixed snow. Its three-radius sidecut and rocker-camber-rocker profile favor quick, nimble arcs, with a turn radius shorter than most all-mountain skis in the catalog. The partial titanal frame and lighter-than-cohort weight balance damping with maneuverability, rewarding a skier who drives it across varied terrain without committing to a single discipline.

Specs & what they mean

What the Mantra 88 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 1,690 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.

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.
