Transitioning from a 65 millimeter waist width to a 98 millimeter waist width ski was my primary concern purchasing the Volkl Mantra. Edging the ski was bound to require more effort, and its viability as an East coast carving ski was questionable. However, with each turn down the season's first run, my concerns entirely dissolved. The edge hold was better than I could have ever imagined, and its stability at arguably unsafe speeds through chop and chunder was second to none. The Mantra is an excellent choice for those skiing aggressively on any terrain!
