K2 Mindbender 96 W Touring Ski Package 2027

The K2 Mindbender 96 W Touring Ski Package 2027 is for women who want to tour on a setup that still feels like a proper, chargey freeride ski on the way back down. It is built around the new Mindbender 96 W and N S/Lab Shift2 10 MN, so you can skin for fresh turns without feeling like you have compromised your downhill ski just to save a few grams.

This package centres on the latest Mindbender 96 W, a lively, directional freeride ski that feels confident at speed and in mixed snow, then adds the Shift2 10 for real touring capability without dulling the ride. The 96 mm waist and All-Terrain Rocker give you enough float for soft snow and spring corn, while the firm flex and Titanal-inspired layup keep it calm when you are driving through chop or arcing longer turns back to the car. On the up, the Shift2 toe switches into pin mode for efficient skinning; on the down, it locks into a full alpine toe and heel so it feels like a proper resort binding rather than a pure tech binding. For women who want one setup that can charge lifts in the morning and head for a short tour in the afternoon, this is a no-compromise downhill option that still earns its turns.

• New Mindbender 96 W shape: Modern freeride profile that is quick edge-to-edge but happy being pushed hard in variable snow.
• 96 mm touring-friendly waist: Balanced width for backcountry missions, firm resort days and everything in between.
• All-Terrain Rocker: Rockered tip and tail for float and ease in softer snow, camber for grip and drive on harder conditions.
• Hybrid Shift2 10 binding: Pins for the climb, full alpine toe and heel for the descent, with DIN up to 10 for most touring riders.
• Multi-norm compatibility: Works with touring, GripWalk and Alpine soles, ideal for one-boot, one-ski quivers.
• Ski-team touring pick: Curated for women who want a chargey, confidence-boosting downhill feel without giving up touring versatility.
