What ski to replace mantra?

**hemas** · 03-30-2007, 10:19 AM

Danno, if you like the ski to be a bit more more turnier, Elan M888 would be about spot on. Slightly stiffer than Mantra, a bit more sidecut and a bit narrower.

Have you looked at the Movement Thunder? Fairly stiff but not all metal and comes in a 187. Good all around shape at 122-89-111 and telemark-pyrenees has em for 330 euros.

That's good. It would suck to be a giant with a tiny pecker.

Volkl M-Rock?

fourthed. I wish I still had my 192 777's.

hmm. maybe i can try Z's 777s

And I am unaware of the M-Rock. No metal, tele-version mantra?

If only the Kingswood Skinny came in a 192 for you.

I think you'd do well on the 190 Rossi B3's, they didn't make very many of them but if you could find them they'd be a sweet bump ski for sure. They have metal but I haven't heard of them bending on anyone.

Or maybe check out the Stockli Scott Schmidt 188 or DP Pro 193.

Next year's M-Rock is this year's Mantra. No change whatsoever (except for topsheet).

Review found. I think this ski is going to replace my FishStix 86's/Bombers.

No photo, but a guy over on ttips described them thusly:

It was light gray, with some black squiggles in the upper right tip and tail, and "M Rock" written this way:
M

R
o
c
k
in a kind of rune-ish block-freehand font down the middle of the tip. And the dimensions were written on the tail.

I was gonna suggest the AK King Salmon, which you can get for a song.

BUT...

they only come in a 180 for us mere mortals and glorified gaper hackers.
