Mantra Type Ski That Doesn't Delaminate?

Moment Commander 92. I think it’s a somewhat similar ski, and supposedly bomber construction. I love my pair as an EC DD

Note about the Commander: size down. I find the 188 is not stiff enough in the shovel to rail on anything firm and wish I got the 182 instead. If I pressure the shovels on hard pack, the skis start chattering and get skittish. If you look at the profile near the shovels, you can see that the ski gets super thin there. For reference, I am 6’-0”, weigh 180, and typical ride skis in the 184-192cm range.

And RE Kastle, I find the MX98 is perfect for the conditions you mentioned. I’m the only guy in my crew that enjoys pointing down the crazy ice bumps below Easy Street under Schimmelpfennig, and I owe that to the MX98s. North Bowl ice bumps? No problem. The torsional rigidity allows you to carve down the backs of ice bumps at speed.

Agreed with TahoeJosh—the 182 C92 is perfect for me at 6’ 175#. No need to go for longer.
