Völkl Mantra M5

Strengths:
Stiff and stable as hell! Good ice grip. Cruel in most of the bows you come across in the Nordic mountains.

Weaknesses:
Heavy, a bit clumsy when turning short and not particularly playful. Requires a lot of speed and power, which makes it a bit boring on flatter slopes when riding around with the kids.

Summary:
A top ski for "ordinary Nordic" conditions. Works great on the piste on the vast majority of surfaces and I think it performs best on driven slopes with loose drifts, hard sections, humps, etc. Requires a lot of speed and power to come into its own. Ok in loose snow, but of course there are better alternatives with pure powder snow. Very all-round and if you only have one pair of skis, this is an excellent choice in my opinion! Awesome skis!

Strengths:
Good kickback (springs back in turns)
Works in all conditions/surfaces
Affordable

Weaknesses:
Flows poorly in loose snow
Not playful

Summary:
Imagine a really good piste ski that can be used for top touring. I threw on a frame binding and did several top rides which went surprisingly well considering it's basically as heavy a set up as you can get. The message is that this ski will provide riding pleasure wherever you go, but it is not an off-piste ski. It will not float in the loose snow or pop in the jumps.

Too heavy and stiff for touring

Summary:
Fantastic fun speed skiing, excellent stable in long turns. Excellent in up to 2 dm fresh snow. Works well even in short turns with good grip without fluttering into a cord. Handles the transition from turn to cord excellently.
Fits perfectly with Marker Griffon and boot with + 110 Flex.

Strengths:
So versatile, ice, freshly groomed, loose snow or runaway, it is just to go on and laugh.

Weaknesses:
It was hard to get hold of a couple. ;-)

Summary:
Wonderful ski that really holds in the turn. The ski needs to be pressed a little before it returns its max. Good both in icy pistes and the slush in the afternoon, it is just to drive on.

Pistol fisherman who feels like an old reputable racing couple. Pork to drive on. Good grip, hard skate which can be pressed without folding. You should probably have an aggressive ride style to like the ski. A charge: I'm skiing that works outside the piste as well. Grade 4
