Volkl Alley vs Volkl Mantra

How they compare

the Volkl Alley leans more freestyle / park, while the Volkl Mantra leans more all mountain. They share a twin tip shape — symmetrical tips for skiing switch and park; playful and forgiving. The Volkl Alley has a camber profile (arc underfoot for strong edge hold, pop, and stability on hardpack—lively and precise), while the Volkl Mantra uses hybrid (rocker/camber) (mix of camber and rocker zones for all-mountain versatility—grip, float, and play in one profile). The Volkl Alley targets intermediate riders while the Volkl Mantra is aimed at advanced riders. At $124.7 vs $699 MSRP, the Volkl Alley is the more budget-friendly option.
