The Mantra 88 Skis carve with a precision that's hard to find elsewhere

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I ran these on a firm, icy morning when a lot of other skis would've skittered around, and the edge hold stayed rock solid through every turn. The tailored Titanal frame gives them a confident, locked in feel that makes pushing speed on groomers actually enjoyable."


There's a specific joy in laying a ski over on firm snow and feeling it lock in without a hint of chatter, and the Mantra 88 Skis are built entirely around that feeling. We push them into fast, arcing turns down freshly groomed runs, trusting the edge to hold even when the snow turns icy and unforgiving, and they never once feel like they're working to keep up with us. It's a ski that rewards commitment rather than punishing it.


That precision comes from a build tailored to the skier holding it. A titanal frame scales with each ski length, adding more stiffness and dampening in longer sizes for stronger skiers while keeping shorter lengths lighter and more agile, so the performance actually matches who's on it. Tailored carbon tips are embroidered along the ski's natural stress lines for sharper handling up front, and the 3D Radius sidecut lets us hold long, committed arcs or snap into tighter turns without ever changing our stance.

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis

This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.

How It Works

Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive ready to ride with no setup required.

Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.

No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.
