Völkl Mantra 88 W Skis 2026

The Völkl Mantra 88 W Skis 2026 are powerful women’s all-mountain / frontside skis with an 88 mm waist, 3D Radius Sidecut, and metal/carbon reinforcement—built for strong skiers who want serious edge grip, high-speed stability, and groomer-crushing performance that can still handle mixed terrain.

Why the Mantra 88 W Stands Out

• Groomer specialist with all-mountain range: An 88 mm waist and approx. 134–88–114 mm sidecut deliver lightning-fast edge-to-edge response on hardpack while staying composed in late-day chop, firm bumps, and the occasional off-piste detour.
• 3D Radius Sidecut: Three different radii blended along the ski—longer in the tip and tail with a shorter mid-body radius—let you switch between short, snappy turns and long, GS-style arcs just by changing edge angle and pressure.
• Tailored Titanal Frame: Length-specific Titanal along the perimeter and underfoot adds huge torsional rigidity, damping, and edge hold without making the ski feel dead or sluggish.
• Tailored Carbon Tips: Precisely placed carbon fibers in the shovel sharpen tip engagement, reduce chatter, and trim swing weight so the ski feels quicker into the turn.
• Multilayer wood core: A poplar/beech core balances strength and damping with a smooth, confidence-inspiring feel underfoot, even when you’re pushing the speed limit.
• Tip & tail rocker with camber underfoot: Rocker in the tip and tail makes turn initiation easier and helps in variable snow, while traditional camber underfoot keeps a long, grippy edge on ice and firm groomers.
• Full sidewall + sintered base: Full ABS sidewalls drive your input straight to the edges for precise control, and the P-Tex 2100 sintered base is fast and durable when regularly waxed.

Ideal For

The Mantra 88 W is ideal for advanced and expert women who love carving groomers, skiing fast, and feeling locked into the snow. It’s perfect if you spend most of your time on-piste but still want a ski that can handle bumps, crud, and occasional off-trail laps without getting knocked around.

How It Compares

The Mantra 88 W essentially takes over from the Kenja/Secret 88, keeping the same metal-heavy construction and groomer-focused personality but updating the geometry with Völkl’s 3D Radius Sidecut and refined Tailored Titanal Frame and Carbon Tips. Compared to the wider Mantra 102 W or M7 Mantra W 96, the 88 W is quicker edge to edge and more frontside-focused, making it the go-to choice if your priority is carving and firm-snow confidence rather than maximum float.

Bottom Line: If you’re a strong, speed-loving skier who wants a one-ski quiver that absolutely rips groomers yet stays composed when the snow gets rough, the Völkl Mantra 88 W Skis 2026 deliver big-time precision, power, and confidence for women who like to push it.
