Expert verdict
The K2 Mindbender 130 LV Ski Boots are a game-changer for those who love both resort skiing and backcountry adventures. With a stiff 130 flex, these boots offer incredible power transfer, making them perfect for aggressive skiers. The heat-moldable Powerlite shell ensures a snug, customized fit, while the Friction Free Cuff Pivot allows for smooth movement. What really sets these boots apart is the Powerlock Spyne, which lets you switch to walk mode with ease, offering a 50-degree range of motion for uphill climbs. However, some users have mentioned durability concerns over time. Overall, these boots are a fantastic choice for those seeking versatility and performance in one package.

The K2 Mindbender 130 LV is truly a do it all boot that offers out of the box comfort. I knew when I first tried these on that they were going to treat my feet well. Even after the "break in" period my feet felt comfortable, warm, and locked in.
These boots feature 4 buckles, a power strap, and... Read more
Ideal for
- A true low volume fit with great heel hold and a comfortable fit all around.
- Great both in the resort and the backcountry.
- Light weight and easy to take on and off.
Not ideal for
- Not the most durable boots.
- Soft for a 130 flex boot.

This boot is fantastic for that skier that will be doing some touring AND resort riding. Lightweight enough to feel like a touring boot, (especially with a wide range of rear travel in walk mode) but stiff enough to feel like a downhill only boot.
When touring, there isn't a second though about weight. While pointing the sticks downhill,... Read more
Ideal for
- This boot is stiff, and responsive, without being demanding.
- Lateral stiffness gives this boot a Downhill prowess despite its light weight.
- Tours beautifully. Powerlite plastic is just that; powerful and light.
Not ideal for
- LV (Low Volume) isn't quite sincere. This is the most generous "Low Volume" I've ever put on my foot
- When removing the boot, the liner tends to come out with the foot, especially after a long day of touring.

Solid boot. Bad liner
Originally posted at k2snow.com on Feb 11, 2024Booting solid, not as stiff as I was expecting. Liner ripped in multiple spots in year 2 so I would not trust them to last.

Dylan is the man!
5 /5
Only having skateboarding experience, I was weary to buy my first snowboard. Finding Dylan was a huge help as he answered all the questions I had. With his help, I was able to find what size board & profile was right for me. Also, with the additional information during our conversation, I now what what to consider when buying future boards, bindings, and boots. Thank you again Dylan!

5 /5
I stumbled upon curated while researching what kind of skis to buy via youtube videos - and im SO glad I ended up where I did. Allie guided me through my first adult ski and binding purchase. She answered all my questions, and more. Allie made me feel very comfortable and sure that the purchase I was making was the right one for me. Allie was so kind that I hope to run into her one day on the slopes with the new gear she helped me choose :)

5 /5
Ryan was the absolute best in helping me find my first set of gear as a somewhat beginner snowboarder. I started snowboarding a few years ago and fell in love with it. Eventually renting gear all the time caught up to me and I haven’t hopped on a board in almost 2 years. As I’m trying to get back into it and avoid this problem going forward, Ryan truly made the overwhelming experience of buying a board, boots, bindings, helmets and goggles a freakin breeze. He will help you budget while also finding you the best quality gear. Ryan even took the time to make me a personal video explaining why he chose certain gear for me while also giving multiple options. Anyone and everyone who doesn’t know the ins and outs of this stuff should have someone like Ryan to make the process easier. Thanks again Ryan 🤘🏼

Getting into boarding after skiing most of my life. I have weird skeleton proportions so I got all the answers I needed for which board, bindings, and boots to choose. Great conversation and besides for this site being dope, Tyler seems like someone I'd hit the mountain with any day. Good stuff, great guy, good vibes!

Making a large purchase on a piece of equipment is fraught for a non-expert; Luke took the fear out of the decision, provided a number of recommendations across different price points, and really listened to what I was looking for! This service is excellent, and I deeply appreciate Luke's expertise and recommendations in making this decision!
