The K2 Mindbender 96 Skis are a true all-mountain freeride platform designed for advanced skiers who want one ski that can confidently handle groomers, chopped snow, variable terrain, and light powder. With a 96mm waist, the Mindbender 96 strikes an ideal balance between carving precision and freeride versatility.
Built with an Aspen and Paulownia wood core combined with partial Titanal reinforcement, this ski delivers a powerful, damp, and stable ride while maintaining a relatively lightweight feel. K2’s Dark Matter Damping technology further enhances control by reducing vibration and improving composure in rough or inconsistent snow conditions.
The directional freeride shape provides strong edge hold, stability at speed, and confidence across the entire mountain—making it a go-to option for skiers who like to charge groomers in the morning and explore off-piste terrain in the afternoon.
