Following the tried-and-true tradition of one of the most popular adult skis ever made, the Volkl Mantra Junior Skis carry the torch for junior skiers looking for the same types of award-winning performance. Much like the adult versions of the skis, Mantra Junior has a full-sensor wood core, tip and tail rocker, and a true all-mountain shape. There's a bit of a twin tip to the ski, but not really enough to make it a freestyle ski-more to help get you out of tricky spots in the woods. At 86- millimeters underfoot, the skis are right in the sweet spot for all conditions and terrain. Feel free to load them up on the groomers and get some amazing carving performance. The wider shape combines well with the wood core to generate a ton of energy and pop coming out of the turn, even with the tail rocker and the slightly turned-up tail. They love to be put on edge and will ride that long and smooth turn throughout the arc of the turn. From steeps and trees to bumps and chutes, these things will quite literally do it all. If you are looking for a true Swiss Army knife of skis, or Jack of all trades that really has no weaknesses, then the Volkl Mantra Junior Skis should be on parent's wish list.
