USED 2025 K2 Mindbender 85 Skis 170cm with Marker Squire 10 Bindings

The 2025 K2 Mindbender 85 is the perfect confidence-inspiring ski for intermediate skiers ready to transition from groomed runs to exploring the rest of the mountain. Featuring K2’s forgiving All-Terrain Rocker profile and a lively Aspen Micro Block Core, this ski offers predictable yet fun performance with easy direction changes. The 85mm waist strikes an ideal balance, providing quick edge-to-edge agility on hardpack while still offering stability in variable or light off-piste snow. The 170cm length paired with a short 13.1m turning radius makes this ski incredibly responsive and fun for carving quick arcs. It is paired with the lightweight and reliable Marker Squire 10 bindings, which are an excellent choice for beginner-to-intermediate skiers prioritizing ease of use and value.

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.
