Who would love these

These skis are perfect for beginner to intermediate skiers who are ready to leave the groomed trails behind and explore more challenging terrain. West coast skiers will also love them for cruising groomers, even when the snow is choppy at the end of the day.

Why I recommend these

Intuitive and Easy-turning
Light weight minimizes effort
85mm width, versatile all-terrain
Excellent value for all-mountain skiing

Expert verdict

The K2 Mindbender 85 W Skis are a fantastic choice for beginner-intermediate skiers! A 85mm underfoot width provides more terrain versatility than more basic entry-level or rental skis. It's perfect for someone hoping to explore a bit off the groomers, or someone who skis in a snowy region and needs that float in softer snow.

I love how confidence-inspiring these skis are, and that's thanks to a lightweight Aspen Micro Block core and an all-terrain rocker which helps you initiate turns, turn faster, and keep control. The wood core also makes these more lively and durable than some skis made with foam or composite material alternatives.

Amazing service from Kyle!
5 /5
Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in helping me choose the perfect package for me (Roxy Dawn + Union Rosa + ThirtyTwo STW Double BOA). He took the time to explain the differences between boards, bindings, and boots, making sure I got the perfect setup for my skill level. His expertise and friendly attitude made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend Kyle for anyone needing snowboard gear advice—thanks again! ⛷️🏂😊

He really was there for me with my hundreds of questions with kindness and joy (with no judgement).

5 /5
Thank you Casey🤙🏼 much love and I appreciate your time and expertise. Casey was knowledgeable, supportive, listened to my worries and needs. Casey Worked with me on multiple options for my new equipment. Casey was very responsive, checked in with me to make sure this was the right purchase for me. Casey also let me know that the board I was debating on purchasing had a low stock left. I did finally purchased my new board. I held off on buying bindings. I only did that because, what I wanted was out of stock. Casey, The mountains are calling, and I must go."

5 /5
She never gave up and kept me updated on deals that would better work with my budget yet still provide me the support and structure in a board that I needed for my plans in pursuing this sport! I really appreciated her help even though I wasn’t very responsive and that just goes to show her determination. Honestly a gem!

I know nothing about skis and this was so easy!
5 /5
I've been skiing for about 6 years now but have spent all that time learning how now to bust my butt, and not about the actual gear. I knew I was ready to upgrade the second-hand beginner skis I bought 7 years ago but had no idea where to start. Ben did all the leg work for me, gave me easy to understand feedback about his choices, and then answered all of my questions. 12/10 would recommend!

As a first-time buyer of any snowboarding equipment, I had no idea what I was looking for. With his personalized informative video, he explained why he suggested me certain items, explained specs, and overall taught me a lot in a short amount of time. Everything was 'curated' for me. Amazing job Billy!

I've been eyeing these VANS for awhile, but just never pulled the trigger on them. When I was letting Scott know what I wanted, these and the Encore OG were his choices for me! Luckily both were great prices! I took a few days to think about it and now I'm excited that they're finally on their way! Thanks, Scott!
