Völkl Women's Mantra 84 26/27

The women’s-specific Völkl Mantra 84 is most at home on groomed pistes, but it’ll also let you dip a toe into off-piste terrain. It’s aimed at skiers with a few seasons under their belt who appreciate a playful feel.

Like many Völkl skis, the Mantra uses a construction that gives the ski three different turn radii. The longer radii at the tip and tail come into play at higher speeds, while the tight radius underfoot makes the ski genuinely nimble when you’re going slower.
