When the Mantra first hit the scene, it was revolutionary. One of the first skis to lend experienced skiers confidence in virtually any snow conditions, and now in its 5th generation, the Volkl M5 Mantra Skis continue to build upon their all-mountain dominance. An all new Titanal Frame technology leverages strategically cut out layers of metal that run the perimeter of the ski, but forego a continuous full-sheet of metal in favor of substantial weight savings. Not only do the new M5 Mantras retain the same powerful edge and charge-through-anything feel of their predecessors, but they're now significantly lighter for nearly effortless turn initiation and all-day performance. Ski harder, with more confidence and less fatigue aboard the new Volkl M5 Mantra Skis!
Tip & Tail Rocker – Bends up only in the shovel and tail zones, with a camber shape in the middle.
Moderate Taper – Moderate setup of tapered tips for an all mountain oriented combination of precision on piste and easy handling off piste.
Multi Layer Woodcore – The combination of beech and poplar results in an extremely durable wood core composed of hard wood in the binding area and lighter wood surrounding it.
Titanal Frame – The Titanal Frame assures the most efficient and lively all-mountain freeride performance. By shaping the top layer of metal in just the right way, Volkl engineers created a lighter weight design that maintains stability and adds liveliness and energy.
Carbon Tips – Tip material layup for high reliability/stability at the lightest possible weight.
Full Sidewall – Direct and strong power transmission with full length sidewalls.
P-Tex 2100 – A sintered high-density and high molecular weight polyethylene base with great gliding characteristics and high durability.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

The hype is real. Say 'sayonara' to waxing and 'hello' to the truly revolutionary DPS Phantom 2.0 Base Glide Treatment! How? Developed in conjunction with the chemistry wizards at the University of Utah, Phantom offers ultimate convenience, elite-level performance, and it's environmentally friendly. In other words, you'll never have to wax again, you get performance that's on-par if not better than traditional waxing and you omit the need to use and expose yourself to toxic chemicals. A mere one-time application is all that's required! Transform your base(s) and experience the future of snowsports with the game-changing DPS Phantom 2.0 Base Treatment
Permanence – Permanence breeds ultimate convenience. With PHANTOM, you apply the formula once at any point in your ski or snowboard’s life cycle, whether new or used. It’s that simple. PHANTOM’s sophisticated, timed polymerization process permanently penetrates the entire thickness of the base material with powerful go-fast fluoro compositions designed to operate across all snow temperatures. Even when the ski or snowboard goes into a shop for stone grindings, the next fresh layer of PHANTOM is exposed –– ready to glide.
Performance – Unless you are constantly waxing with correct temperature specific waxes, PHANTOM is faster across all conditions over time because its performance is consistent: you never suffer the glide degradation that occurs when conventional wax quickly wears away.
Environment – The innovation centers around the inclusion of glide-friendly fluorocarbon functional groups, but in a superior, new delivery method that renders them inert and harmless to humans, plants and animals. PHANTOM doesn’t cause biological damage, and doesn’t present any long-term environmental risks.
Home Application – PHANTOM can be applied by an individual with access to direct and consistent UV sunlight to activate and cure the formula. Ideally, this should be done during the Spring, Summer, and Autumn seasons when the sun is high and temperatures are. For proper PHANTOM application, it’s critical for there be strong, direct sunlight and temperatures over 32ºF / 0ºC. Cure time is roughly 2 hours total, with another 20 minutes of prep work and brushing to complete the application. DPS also recommends base cleaner or a fresh stone grind prior to application.
Cure Station – PHANTOM can be applied professionally by an Authorized PHANTOM Installer using a Cure Station. The process takes approximately 15 minutes for part A, and 15 minutes for part B, with minor additional preparation and soak time. This is the most precise and fast method to apply PHANTOM to skis or snowboards, and is a reliable all-season solution during the low light winter months, especially in more extreme latitudes, and in wetter climates where sunshine isn’t as consistent.
