Why offer two skis at virtually the same waist width? Because for all its popularity, the venerable Mantra is too much ski for many skiers. The 90Eight is a lighter, techier creation, and it performs with livelier feel that can be easier to get along with. With a little camber and a tighter sidecut (the Mantra is full-length rocker), it’s an eager carver with snappy rebound. Testers loved its energy. Dyer: “A great carver. Also super athletic in bumps and chowder.”
Strengths: Quickness/Maneuverability, Playfulness, Hard-Snow Integrity
