K2 Mindbender 96

The K2 Mindbender 96 is a versatile all-mountain ski built for skiers who spend most of their time inbounds but want the freedom to explore every part of the mountain. Blending strong carving performance with freeride-inspired versatility, the Mindbender 96 delivers confidence on groomers while remaining agile and capable when conditions become softer or more variable.

At 96mm underfoot, the Mindbender 96 sits in the sweet spot for everyday resort skiing. It feels quick edge-to-edge on firm snow, offers excellent stability through chopped-up conditions, and provides enough platform to confidently venture into trees, bowls, bumps, and fresh snow when the opportunity arises.

K2’s Titanal Y-Beam construction gives the ski its unique personality. Titanal reinforcement along the edges enhances edge grip and stability, while a more forgiving tip and tail keep the ski manoeuvrable and easy to release from turns. This combination creates a ski that feels energetic and responsive without becoming overly demanding.

For skiers looking for a true one-ski quiver that prioritises resort performance while retaining genuine all-mountain versatility, the Mindbender 96 is one of the most balanced options available.
