Built for those epic days everyone dreams of, the Mindbender 116C is purpose-engineered with patented Spectral Braid technology, and first-of-its-kind variable angle fiber reinforcement that allows for precision-tuned torsion and flex. Stiff enough for those deep landings, yet playful enough to remain energetic.
Its Powder Rocker profile maximizes float in soft snow. This surprisingly sturdy ski lets you take on the burliest of lines and the reality of getting to the stash and back again.

Powder Rocker™:
Higher rise over a long section in the tip and tail to maximize float and planing in softer snow.
Aspen Veneer:
Bio-Resin:
Eco-friendly material for energetic and consistent flex across a wide range of temperatures.
Spectral Braid (Mindbender):
An extension of K2’s Torsion Control Design, 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. Lively, energetic, and remarkably composed; Mindbender skis with K2’s Spectral Braid have stability and control in spades while remaining hyper-maneuverable.
Uni-Directional Flax:
Flax is a lightweight and sustainable natural fiber reinforcement fabric that improves a skis ability to track in variable terrain resulting in improved suspension and composure.
