On the light, quick, and fun side of things, the K2 Mindbender 90 C skis are a fantastic choice for skiers looking for a versatile all-mountain ski. While not the hardest-charger out there, the 90 C has a lot going for it that lurks just underneath the surface. Thanks to the shape, construction, and profile, the K2 Mindbender 90 C skis are there for your all-mountain adventures. At 90 mm underfoot, we’re right in that sweet spot for skis in terms of versatility and fun.

Wide enough to generate some float in the fresh, but narrow enough to hold a tight edge on firm snow, the width of the ski is right in the middle of it all. With a slight tip taper, the blunted nose actually increases quickness by reducing swing weight. Built with an Aspen wood core, K2 adds their signature Carbon Spectral Braid which does a couple of cool things. Interwoven into the fiberglass laminate, the carbon stringers are arranged to give the ski the proper amount of stiffness in just the right places.

With a tighter weave in the forebody of the ski and a looser braiding in the tails, the skis initiate turns nicely and cleanly while providing a smooth and playful release in the tail. This all adds up to a strong front-side performance without sacrificing off-trail adventures. Tip and tail rocker profiles round out this nice package, allowing skiers of the intermediate and advanced levels to get the most out of their ski day.
