If you're a hard charging directional freerider, there's a good chance the Mantra has been on your radar for a while now. But if not, it's time for some introductions. The Volkl M5 Mantra Skis have the soul of an old school ripper with a traditional shape, a stout titanal frame that offers fall line shredding dampness and rigidity, and a versatile 96 mm underfoot width. It's the go-to ski for advanced riders looking for a daily driver to crush technical terrain in between storms.
