2024 K2 Mindbender 106C W Skis 176cm + Salomon Shifts AT Backcountry Setup

Very good condition Mindbender 106C W, 176 length from 2024 mounted with Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings. Bought these last year from pro skier Veronica Paulsen and really love them, but I desperately need to slim down the quiver. Perfect set up for a 50/50 ski. They perform just as well inbounds as they do in the backcountry! Fun and playful but they charge hard. Some superficial scratches on bases and top sheet but nothing major. Drilled for a 297 BSL. Shifts are adjustable up to 30mm so no need to redrill if you’re within 30mm of 297. These babies are ready to rip! Happy to throw in some Black Diamond touring skins if interested. $750 OBO. K2’s Description: The all new K2 Mindbender 106 C W Skis are designed to deliver lightweight all mountain performance in a powerful package. Push your skiing to new levels and indulge in all different types of snow thanks to spectral braid tech, a lightweight aspen wood core, and K2's signature playful flex. Lively, lovely, and built to shred, the Mindbender 106 C fills a gap in K2's lineup: freeride performance without the extra weight of metal. Don't be afraid to hit your favorite bootpack or play out of bounds, these freeriders will have you shredding till the sun goes down. Individual ski weight: 1770 g Salomon’s description: When the Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings first dropped, they represented a quantum leap forward in freeride binding design. Combining the smooth uphill performance of pin technology with the added safety, reliability, and power transfer of fully DIN certified release, they're a fantastic choice for skiers looking to service both resort and backcountry riding on a single setup. MNC compatibility means they play nice with almost every boot in the known universe - a comforting notion given the dizzying array of options. For backcountry beginners and grizzled vets alike, the Salomon S/Lab Shift MNC 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings are in a class of their own.

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.
