K2 Mindbender 96 Skis 2027

The Mindbender 96 hits the sweet spot for skiers who want one ski for everything. It carves hardpack, threads through trees, and uses Dark Matter to damp chatter when the snow turns to chop and crud. A Titanal I-Beam adds power and torsional grip while keeping the flex smooth.

Who it's for: intermediate to expert skiers who want a single all-mountain ski that handles every kind of day.

Key features

• Dark Matter Technology – Steel-weighted TPU inserts sit in the core at tuned points to calm chatter and keep the ski smooth at speed
• Enhanced Stability Points – Reinforced high-load zones add edge grip and torsional control without piling on stiffness or weight
• Titanal I-Beam – A shaped central metal layer adds torsional stiffness and power while keeping the flex smooth
• All-Terrain Rocker – Gradual tip rocker makes turns easy to start and helps the ski float, while camber underfoot keeps the edge locked in on firm snow
• Aspen Paulownia Core – Aspen brings stability and snap; paulownia trims weight so the ski stays easy to swing in tight spots
