Mantra vs. AC50

Yeah, I had heard that was going to be an issue. I found it to be very true when I was on steeper stuff and my legs were rubbery. It started to flutter and scared the cr@p out of me. I thought I was toast.

I find this intriguing. I had asked about the Auras on Ski Diva at one point (because many of them women are ga-ga for them!) and was told by Trekchick, IIRC, that they would spank me for bad behavior. :lol: Guess that's carried over from the men's to the women's version. :lol:

Sounds like they're a good fit for you though. Enjoy them!

That's good to know Sev. My wife is looking at that Auras as well. But she wants to demo them first.

They're well-loved by the Divas but you have to be on the ball, from what I understand. I prefer something a little more forgiving at this stage. She should demo them if she can and if she likes them, I've heard they're a great East Coast ski--will cover many conditions for her.

That's how I remember the old straight Volkls....ski them hard or don't bother. After the knee injury, she's really sold on the bindings Volkl offers with the flatter stance.
