Product Info
One of the most versatile all-rounders on the market, the K2 Mindbender 96 C W Skis get it done in everything from a foot of pow to firm corduroy and will leave you smiling no matter what terrain or snow is on the menu. Spectral Braid technology combined with the proven Aspen Micro Block core and K2's All Terrain Rocker add up to a capable package that handles it all.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All-Terrain Rocker – Skis with All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow.
Core
Aspen Micro Block Core – Many small stringers of Aspen give a consistent flex, smooth feel, and damp ride.
Laminates
Bio Resin – Increases bonding with the core, adds cold temperature strength, and is more sustainable than traditional resins.
Spectral Braid – K2’s Patented Spectral Braid is a first of its kind variable angle reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski. This makes the ski feel lively, energetic, and remarkably composed.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm.

Ability Level:
Intermediate-Advanced
More
Ability Level
Intermediate-Advanced Whether you’re a progressing intermediate exploring new runs and terrain, or an accomplished rider seeking new thrills, the majority of skiers and snowboarders fall into this level. Intermediate to advanced skis and snowboards may be somewhat wider or stiffer than beginner-intermediate skis and snowboards, usually with a stronger wood core and sandwich sidewall construction. Intermediate to advanced boots and bindings range from softer flexing freestyle options to stiffer choices built for stability at speed.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type
Flat This is your traditional tail, designed to have edge contact all the way through the tail, and only designed for skiing forward. This is also preferred for alpine touring, as you can stick the tails of your skis in the snow.
