Product Info
The K2 Mindbender 106 C Alliance Skis + Marker Squire 11 Demo Bindings are an all-new model from the Alliance team that aims squarely at the expert all-mountain, all-snow conditions crowd and hits the mark, bullseye. If you ski where it snows a lot, but conditions vary from icy groomers to full-on powder without advance warning, this 106mm workhorse has the power and flexibility to conquer anything you might come across. K2's design philosophy has swung strongly toward favoring strong and skilled skiers in the past few years, and if you haven't heard some of the rave reviews on the Mindbenders you owe it to yourself to give them a try - the K2 Mindbender 106 C Alliance Skis might be the best place to start if you're hungry for terrain.
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 in variable snow.
Shape
Torsion Control Design – Designed to enhance stability and control in all snow types, Torsion Control Design combines a progressive torsional flex with a balanced and even longitudinal profile. Torsionally stiffest in the forebody and center of the ski, then easing throughout the tail, K2 skis with TCD have both precise, accurate turn initiation and smooth, consistent turn release in all snow types.
Core
Aspen Veneer – Lightweight and resilient, great all-around material.
Laminates
Carbon Spectral Braid – A variable angle carbon fiber laminate allows the torsional and longitudinal stiffness to be adjusted independently. This construct keeps skis lighter and more playful for conditions when power and damping are less important.
Sidewalls
SlantWall Sidewalls – Beveled ABS sidewalls reduce weight while retaining exceptional edgehold.
Included Bindings
Demo Bindings Come Mounted to Skis – Always have a certified binding technician adjust your bindings.
Includes Marker Squire 11 Demo Bindings – DIN Range 3.5-11

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. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

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:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
