Since moving to the Tahoe area a couple of years ago I added a pair of 191 Mantra's for the last couple of seasons which have helped me adjust to Sierra powder (or powder at all coming from the east coast). Looking to increase the quiver for deep days.<br /><br />How would the Kuro's compare to the Mantras on a Kirkwood Area powder day? Are the Kuro's better suited to wide open bowls rather than tight spaces like trees and chutes?<br /><br />Or would I be better off splitting the difference with a Katana?<br /> question_64472 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 20:31:08 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/store/MAR1437/Marmot-Maxima-Softshell-Jacket-Mens.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_64470#question_64470 Marmot Maxima Softshell Jacket - Men's<br /><br />What color is "raven?
