Faction Mana 3 (get in here if u skied them)

Voyage86i’ve heard that they don’t like to slash around in pow and the tails get locked in. Is this true? please let me know. also how similar are these to the CT 3.0, are they identical?

Identical.

pretty similar but not identical to the CT3. Not sure what you mean by they don't like to slash around pow; cuz them jawns are a good time in the deep

I had a pair of the 2018/2019 CT 3.0 that was white and red. It had the paulownia/balsa core that was snapping when people put pivots on them. I had a shift on them and it was my favorite ski I've ever owned. I also had a Mana 3 last season. It is most certainly NOT identical, the core construction is completely different despite the shape being the same. It did indeed feel hooky to me on hard snow but in fresh snow it was fine, but I did end up in a tree in Montana last season when my tails caught and I flew off the cat track, but that was probably me more than the ski!

If by sendy you mean like stable at speed like chargey Id be somewhere like Revolt 114 Woodsman 110 or Wildcat 108

nah, not super chargey, just somthing that has a decent back bone and is alittle playful for jumps and drops. i’m really not trying to pay full price for a ski so this at 450$ is my top choice atm.
