On the wide side of K2’s directional powder ski line is the Mindbender 116 C Skis. If playing in the deep snow and searching out pillow lines and surfy spines is your thing, then these skis will fit your desires. Wide, playful, and incredibly fun in the proper conditions, the Mindbender 116 C has a lot to offer. The weight of the build, in and of itself, isn’t that burly, but since there’s just a lot of surface area to be covered, it does end up having some heft to it. For skiers that are looking to access and annihilate the deep snow and crazy terrain of the big mountains of the planet, you need a bit of strength and weight behind your intentions, and that’s where a ski like this comes in handy. These skis are built with a wood core and K2’s carbon spectral braid technology. Using carbon braiding instead of Titanal Y Beam which is used in other Mindbender skis, you get the same strength with much less weight. The shaping of the ski also contributes to the maneuverability of the ski with more of a squared-off tip that keeps the bulk of the mass closer to the midpoint of the ski. The big quality of these skis is their light weight for such a wide ski, and that’s going to make a big difference for skiers looking for that maneuverability in the deep stuff. Built for fun and flotation, the K2 Mindbender 116 C Skis are an awesome choice for expert skiers looking for the ultimate in playfulness in the deep stuff.
