K2 Mindbender 106C Alliance
Like a great life partner, K2’s Mindbender 106C Alliance is the kind of ski you want to have around 24/7. The 106-mm waist provides enough platform to float in fresh while its all-terrain rocker profile—low, gradual rise in the tip, traditional camber underfoot and low, short rise in the tail—gives the ski a strong edge hold when it hasn’t snowed in days. The brand’s patent-pending Spectral Braid Technology, which uses a special blend of woven fibers, combined with vertical stringers running the length of the ski, makes it incredibly nimble without losing any of its power and stability. Ladies looking for a single ski to ride throughout the entire season, the Mindbender 106C Alliance will satisfy any and all of your all-mountain needs.

“It’s truly a ski that rips and grips. A go-to for everyone. Carves sturdy and reliable like a trusty bf.”
