The K2 Mindbender 90C is a lively and energetic ski that is ready to carve up the resort with a playful feel. This ski is ideal for lighter-weight skiers or skiers who enjoy the feel of a forgiving ski without the stiffness of a metal laminate. With an Aspen Veneer Wood core, this Mindbender is built with a lightweight feel, but K2's Spectral Carbon Braid in the core allows for reinforcement and flex control throughout the ski. Get ready for a fun and energetic carving ski without the added weight of metal or a titinal laminate.
Key Features:
- Spectral Carbon Braid – The spectral carbon braid is the first of its kind to allow for variable angle reinforcement in the ski, for precision-tuned torsion and flex by altering the fiber orientation along the length of the ski as it flexes.
- All Terrain Rocker – The gradual rise in the tip is great for versatility in all conditions, with a sorter, low rise in the tail for added control in variable snow.
- Slantwall Sidewalls – Added 30° angle to the sidewall of the ski increases agility and responsiveness in all conditions while maintaining accuracy and power.

The K2 Mindbender 90c is a great option for those on the beginner and intermediate side of skiing who are looking for a ski that has lots of room for growth and will gently push them into a more aggressive all-mountain ski. The 90c is on the softer more gentle side of the Mindbender series, as the wood and carbon... Read more

This ski is a great width for shredding all over the mountain at any level. It does groomers and some powder very well. It's easy to maneuver thanks to its lightweight construction, and beginner/intermediate skiers will enjoy its versatility even as they progress to advanced skiers. Experts may outski this as it is unstable at higher speeds, especially through choppy... Read more

Fantastic skis expand my confidence and abilities
Originally posted at k2snow.com on Feb 29, 2024I bought these to replace a pair of aging Amp 80XTIs. The Amps were very different: heavier, longer, with very high camber. They were great and rocketing me in and out of turns at high speed in optimal conditions. As my skills increased, I spent more time in sub-optimal conditions (moguls, powder, even some backcountry). This, combined with the camber being worn out of the Amps led me to buy a set of Mindbenders. While the Mindbenders are a hair slower at high speed, the trade for giving me greater control on powder, ice, in trees, and even in tight turns compared to the worn out Amps was money well spent. We had a day at Breck with 7 in of the fresh stuff, and more coming down every hour. If I was in my Amps, I'd have done 4 runs and be done. The Mindbenders kept me having fun (strenuous fun, but fun) all day. Worth every penny.

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

Tyler was super helpful!
5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Great help.

Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

Additional Board

I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
