Hey fellow snow enthusiasts!

I recently took the Völkl Mantra M7 for a spin, and I feel like I’ve found the Yeti of all-mountain skis right under my feet! Phew, what a ride! Let me just say that if my ski journey were a movie, these would easily be the trusty sidekick who steals the show.

First off, the M7 handled everything the slopes threw at us—powder, crust, ice, you name it. They carved like a dream, making me feel like an Olympic contender (if you squint really hard while I’m on the slopes). The ski’s construction offers a superb mix of stability and pop, making each turn as crisp as freshly fallen snow. If you’re a fan of feeling like a snowboarder trapped in a skier’s body, you’ll love the surfy feel they provide!

Here’s a quick rundown of my experience:

• Stability: Rock solid at high speeds. I had a moment where I caught myself singing “I Believe I Can Fly” while careening downhill.
• Versatility: From moguls to powder stashes, the M7 adapted like a chameleon on caffeine.
• Fun Factor: Off the charts! These skis practically dared me to push my limits. Plowing through crud and gliding over freshies felt equally satisfying.

I did have one instance where I underestimated a patch of ice—you know, that mythical invisible ice—resulting in an impromptu sit-spin worthy of a figure skating score! No skis, no glory, right?

Now I’d love to hear from you: Have you tried the Völkl Mantra M7? What’s your take? Any tips on maximizing their potential? Jump in with your thoughts, reviews, or your own hilarious frozen escapades below!
