The K2 Mindbender 106C W is a women’s freeride ski built for riders who want to explore off-piste terrain with a playful feel. Its 106 mm waist gives you flotation in softer snow while still carving well on firmer slopes.
This ski’s 138-106-127 sidecut and 15.7 m radius (in the 169 cm length) strike a balance between stability and quick turn response, letting you link arcs cleanly or pivot in tighter spots. At 1,770 g per ski, it sits in the allround freeride weight category, offering enough heft for solid tracking without feeling cumbersome. The flat base comes without pre-mounted bindings, so you can choose and position bindings to suit your boots and style.
Sidecut describes the ski’s width at the tip, waist and tail, which in this case shapes turns that aren’t too tight but still lively. The 15.7 m radius denotes the turn arc—you’ll find it holds nicely at speed without requiring huge, sweeping turns. A flat binding base means the skis arrive un-drilled, allowing a qualified technician to mount bindings precisely for your stance and boot sole.

K2 says about the Mindbender 106C W
Every skier needs that one set-up that can handle it all
and rip despite varying forecasts. That’s why we built the
women’s-specific Mindbender 106C W. The 106C features a
mid-fat waist and a lightweight Aspen Micro Block core, the
perfect combination of float and fun. These skis are stable
despite their lighter construction and maintain complete
maneuverability.
