The K2 Mindbender 90C Skis are a fantastic choice for those who want a lively and fun ride without the need for a super stiff ski.

This ski is catered towards intermediate-level skiers who like to go at a medium pace. It is super easy to get on edge and turn and is super maneuverable. It isn't good at fast speeds, but if you don't need to be charging, these skis make skiing at a slower pace super easy. They hold an edge well and have... Read more

This is a really popular ski so I was excited to put them to the test. I got a couple good runs at Snowbasin Utah in March and got to try them in some different snow conditions. On piste they did really well, solid edge hold, quick and easy to turn. In the moguls they fared alright, not the best... 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.

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!

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!

I have changed my boarding style, and a few years ago i bought a board that does not match my style or weight. I explained everything to Ryan and what I wanted to look to do. He listened and gave great advice and explained his DIRECT experience with some of the products, why he liked them, and why he liked them for me. I felt like he steered me in the direction he thought best for me, not just the highest commission, which ultimately made me hit the add to cart button.
