Volkl Mantra 88 Ski - 2026 - Women's One Color, 170cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve skied the Mantra 88 on firm groomers in the morning and bumped-up terrain in the afternoon, and it never felt out of place. The shorter center radius makes it surprisingly quick edge to edge, while the Titanal frame keeps it calm when I open it up. I love how the carbon tips make turn initiation feel light and direct without losing that strong, planted feel underfoot. It’s powerful, but not punishing.""Who It’s ForAdvanced to Expert All-Mountain Skiers:This ski is built for strong skiers who want one platform for carving groomers and exploring off-piste terrain. If you value precise edge hold, energetic rebound, and the ability to vary turn shapes throughout the day, the Mantra 88 fits. It’s best suited to confident riders who ski with intent and want stability at speed without sacrificing agility in tighter terrain. What It’s ForVersatile All-Mountain Performance On and Off Piste:Designed for mixed resort conditions, the Mantra 88 excels on hardpack, chalky steeps, and variable snow. Its 3D Radius Sidecut supports everything from tight, technical turns to long, high-speed arcs, while tip and tail rocker keep it maneuverable when the terrain gets more demanding. Why We Like ItPower, Precision, and Turn Variety Combined:We like how the Tailored Titanal Frame adapts stiffness by length, delivering stability and damping without making the ski feel heavy. Tailored Carbon Tips enhance agility and tip response, while the multilayer woodcore balances strong edge grip with a lively feel. The 3D Radius Sidecut genuinely expands turn options, and the full ABS sidewalls ensure dependable power transfer on firm snow."
