Volkl M5 Mantra

Hi, I'm Adam, I just got done skiing the new Volkl Mantra M5, a great ski for that advanced to expert level skier who wants to split their time evenly...

What's up guys this is Aaron Bandler from curated.com I just got off the new Volkl M5 Mantra ski. First off I'm not sponsored by any brand I'm not bei...

So yeah, really cool ski. And I think those are the changes that the Mantra kind of needed. Like this, I mean, they hit the ball out of the park when ...

I just got done riding the Volkl M5 Mantra. I love this ski. It's a go-everywhere type of ski

Volkl Mantra - found a pair of these but I think they're too advanced for me. Elan Ripstick 96. Salomon QST. Nordica Enforcer - seem to be out of my budget, but dream ski :).

I purchased the Mantra M5's in December of 2019, had them mounted in Feb 2020 and skied 9-10 times on them with COVID closures (both in March and again at start of 2020 season). In Dec 2020 I blew out a large part of the edge skiing in bounds at Taos New Mexico (Al's run). Undeniable that I hit a ro...

I’m thinking of getting the Volkl M6 Mantra! Have a rc one 82 gt and looking forward to get a wider all mountain ski

Bought them for the 2020/2021 season, got in 17 days at Park City. I only had a few power days, mostly some fresh snow in the morning and packed the rest of the day. Some days were very old snow with ice. I got to try all these conditions including some moguls. If you are going to own one pair of sk...

I'm 6'3", 190lbs, consider myself solidly in the lower/middle tier of intermediate (comfortable on all blues riding in Colorado), and currently only have the Volkl Mantra M5. They're gnarly skis, I can go fast, and the edges hold like nothing else I've ridden before, but I'm looking for something a little more relaxed for days when I stay on-piste and don't feel like charging. The Mantra M5's are great, but they're heavy as shit and I don't always want to feel like I ran a marathon after a day on the mountain (that's an exaggeration, but you get it). As a reminder, what I'm looking for would be for zipping around groomers, not to go as fast as possible, not a dedicated park ski but definitely something with park qualities to make it a more playful option in my quiver.

I'm old and don't spend any time in the park, but this ski excels everywhere else on the mountain.....groomers, bumps, trees, pow up to 6".....it's my 'everyday' ski here in CO. Love it. Volkl Mantra M5 or M6 - more directional.
