The K2 Mindbender 96 Ski is built to adapt as conditions change over the course of a single day, from morning groomers to soft snow by lunch to whatever shows up on the way down. An All-Terrain Rocker profile blends a gradual tip rise with traditional camber underfoot, so the ski floats and initiates turns easily up front while still holding an edge where it counts. An Aspen Paulownia core keeps the ride energetic without adding unnecessary swing weight, and a Titanal I-Beam with Dark Matter damping smooths out the chatter that comes with variable snow. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I skied groomers first thing, then dropped into crud that hadn't been touched all week, and never once felt like I was on the wrong ski for the terrain. That kind of range is what lets me stop thinking about conditions and just ski."
