www.SkiSchoolApp.com The Volkl Mantra 2012 Freeride ski is reviewed by Darren Turner, presenter of the Ski School Apps and ski instructor in Bormio, Italy, during the 2011 SIGB ski test. The Volkl Mantra has been around for a while as a brand, but, we are told by Dave Sawyer-Parker of Volkl UK it is always evolving. The ski has a rocker and Darren skied it hard through crud, windpack, powder and on piste and found it to be really versatile. The ski tested was 177cm and at that length the Volkl Mantra’s dimensions are 133-96-166 (giving a 20.3m turn radius). Check out the Ski School Apps to improve your skiing technique and rip the mountain better in all snow conditions!

The Weekend Warriors carve their turns, while using the same basic ski techniques and body positions to ski all over the mountain. The ski techniques used in this film are derived from the SITS and SVMM ski teaching systems found on www.weekendwarriorsguide.com.
