K2 Mindbender 108 Ti Skis 2023
If the Mindbender series reaffirmed K2's status as an industry leader in the world of freeride, it's the 108 Ti that cemented it. The K2 Mindbender 108 Ti Skis are the burliest member of the family, delivering a powerful, smooth ride at the highest speeds while remaining nimble enough to navigate tight, technical terrain with composure and poise. K2 know when they're onto a good thing, so changes have been kept to a minimum and laser targeted at fine-tuning their already impressive performace. Modifications to the signature Titanal Y-Beam improve turn initiation and edge-hold, and a small increase in tail rocker means they're a touch more forgiving than the previous generation. A fantastic all-rounder for the modern freerider, the K2 Mindbender 108 Ti Skis are worthy of a place in any quiver.
Product Details
Rocker Type
All-Terrain Rocker – Skis with All-Terrain rocker have a gradual rise to the tip for great versatility in all conditions, with a short, low rise in the tail for added control variable snow.
Core
Fir / Aspen Core – Fir for power and impact resistance, with lighter weight Aspen for a lively energetic feel.
Laminates
Ti Y-Beam – TCD-optimized shape, placing Titanal directly over the edges in the forebody of the ski for powerful and consistent turn entry in variable and off-piste conditions. Underfoot, the Titanal spans the full width of the ski for maximum power transfer and control. In the tail, the Titanal narrows, tapering to allow the ski to break free on the back end of the turn while still remaining supportive.
Sidewalls
PowerWall – Power transfer to the ski's edges is dramatically enhanced with oversized ABS sidewalls that are laminated and pocketed within the wood core in the midbody of the ski.
Binding Compatibility
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

All-Mountain, Big Mountain

Terrain
All-Mountain All-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type:
Rocker/Camber/Rocker
More
Rocker Type
Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Tail Type:
Partial Twin Tip
More
Tail Type
Partial Twin Tip Partial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.

Salomon Warden MNC 13 Ski Bindings
A clamp is a clamp is a clamp, right? Not so fast. Some are easier to get back on in 2 feet of blower pow. Some work with all boot sole types, including touring soles. And some offer downright bulletproof reliability year in and year out. The Salomon Warden MNC 13 Ski Bindings check all three boxes, and then some, and have become a huge favorite among riders who move between boots depending on the day. Manual toe height adjustment lets you dial in the precise height necessary for your boot, from ISO 9523 Touring to ISO 5355 Alpine and Gripwalk boot soles. When versatility and reliability are top of your list, there's no better choice than the Warden 13 MNC.
