 When the powder clouds leave for the foreseeable future, the K2 Mindbender 89Ti skis will keep things fun till the next storm hits. With the power of Titanal Y Beams over the edges keep turns feeling consistent no matter what the snow is doing under your feet. Nimble enough to tackle a mogul midfield but can still hold their own on a fresh snow day. These are the ones that put Mindbenders on the map and are up there with the best.

Replacing the 90ti from last year, this ski was reworked by K2 to retain the strengths of the old ski but add smoother turn initiation and a level of responsiveness. The new 2.0 version of Y Beam looks to distribute the weight and strengthening the beam a little differently, closer to the tips and tails of the skis. Couple that with a slightly different rocker profile and you've got a more playful ski and approachable ski than its predecessor. The ski really impressed us when we tested it; it's versatile all-mountain ski for a wide range of NZ skiers.
