Used 2021 K2 Mindbender 99 Ti Skis (170cm) w/ Look NX 12 Bindings

Unleash powerful all-mountain performance with this pair of 2021 K2 Mindbender 99 Ti skis, paired with reliable Look NX 12 GW bindings. Designed for advanced to expert skiers, the Mindbender 99 Ti is a highly versatile and damp freeride ski, built to excel across the entire mountain—from charging through chop and powder to laying down powerful carves on groomers. At 170cm, these skis strike an optimal balance between agility and stability, making them a true one-ski quiver for diverse conditions. The ski's construction features a responsive Maple/Aspen Wood Core that provides a lively and energetic feel. The signature Titanal Y-Beam technology places Titanal strategically in a Y-shape over the edges in the shovel for precise turn initiation and a narrower metal shape in the tail for support while maintaining maneuverability and easy turn release. Powerwall construction incorporates oversized ABS sidewalls into the wood core, enhancing power transfer for direct and precise energy transmission from skier to ski edge. The All-Terrain Rocker profile, a blend of gradual rise in the tip and a low, subtle rocker in the tail with camber underfoot, ensures excellent float in soft snow, easy turn initiation, and reliable edge hold on hardpack. The included Look NX 12 GW bindings are a lightweight and reliable choice, offering a versatile DIN range of 3.5-12. These bindings are fully compatible with both traditional Alpine and modern GripWalk boot soles, providing secure retention and efficient power transfer. All listed skis have been freshly waxed so they are ready to hit the slopes.

The K2 Mindbender skis are a line of high-performance freeride skis featuring a range of waist widths to suit different skiing styles and conditions. Wider skis are better for a deep powder, while narrower skis are more agile on groomers. The Mindbender skis have All-Terrain Rocker, which provides a balance of stability and maneuverability, making it easy to turn and float in powder.

I get why it’s the case, but it can be frustrating that so many freeride or powder skis are either too pricey or too advanced for intermediate skiers. Thankfully, the K2 Mindbenders are here for those looking to dip their toes into bowl or backcountry skiing without breaking the bank or needing expert-level skills. They provide a great entry point into more adventurous skiing while keeping you comfortable and in control, making them a solid choice for those who aren’t quite ready for high-end models like the Blizzard Rustler 11 Skis.
