What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The Mindbender Jr is one of my favorite skis for kids who are stepping up their game. It’s light and easy to turn but still has enough backbone to hold an edge when they pick up speed. The all-terrain rocker helps them stay in control in mixed snow, and the included bindings make it simple to get on the hill." For young skiers ready to move past rentals and discover their full potential, the K2 Mindbender Jr + 7. 0 FDT Ski Package offers all the performance of an adult setup in a kid-friendly design. The lightweight Aspen Veneer Core keeps the ski nimble and responsive, so every turn feels natural and confidence-boosting. The All-Terrain Rocker profile blends gradual rise in the tip with low rise in the tail, making it easier to pivot through variable snow or link smooth arcs on groomers. Hybritech Sidewalls deliver edge hold underfoot and durable cap construction at the ends, creating a balanced ride that’s stable without feeling demanding. With the included 7. 0 bindings, this is a complete setup that helps ambitious kids keep progressing all season long.
