Ski & Snowboard Rental for Western New York#The Vlkl M7 Mantra Skis march unchanged save for topsheets, and in our opinion that’s a good thing. The 4D Radius Drive that debuted last season, along with an elongated Tailored Carbon Tip design and tweaked Tailored Titanal Frame all made the venerable Mantra even better than before. Best enjoyed by skiers with solid technique who love to lay a ski over and feel the G-force at speeds over 30 mph.
