Picking up another ski for mix of all mountain and park found both of these for pretty cheap locally. Which should I go with?

Definitely not the mantra. That’s a directional charger ski. Wall no question if you’re doing park. Although, I think the mantra would be more fun out of the park. If will just really suck in the park.

So once again, wall for the park aspect and versatility. Mantra if you’re not actually going to ski park

Alright so I have a pair of chronics rn, kinda beat up, should I get the mantra and have that as an all mountain ski, and then use chronics for park or just cop the walls

I would do the chronics in the park and mantras for all mountain. The walls are full camber which I don’t really like outside of park. The profile could be nice for carving but if you hit rails your edges will be duller so it’s a moot point.

Get the mantras
