I’d guess a Volkl Mantra or something like that considering they’ve been around forever.

Not sure but an equally good question might be what’s the longest running unchanged ski. I think it might be the Al Dente / Edollo which has been the same ski since 13/14 I believe.

Disregarding changes, I think Mantra is a good guess.

Dollos had changes to sidewalls somewhere around 2019

Mantra has had at least 3 or so major changes


Edit because I actually read the other replies after posting and what I stated has already been stated

For the 2018 model they re-did the ski completely. Basically making the same ski from scratch, while also making some «improvements» like beefier edges. Also lengths changed, they used to have 178 and 188, while the new ones are just 180
Some say that they ruined the ski

I bet it would be some race ski more that likely, but I’ll leave that research for the next guy.

I was thinking it could be a Rossi ST Elite or some other jazz like that
