The K2 Mindbender 116C W is a women’s ski built to handle deep, soft snow with confidence. It’s designed for powder days when you’re looking to stay afloat and enjoy wide-open terrain, giving you the room to let gravity and fresh turns take over.
With a waist width of 116 mm, the Mindbender 116C W offers plenty of surface area to keep you floating in deep snow, while the broader 143 mm tip and 132 mm tail help initiate turns smoothly and maintain stability at higher speeds. The flat mounting point leaves room for custom-binding setups, so you can dial in your stance without sacrificing the ski’s playful, surf-like feel.
The turn radius of 18 m (at 170 cm) describes the arc the ski naturally wants to carve—a medium-large radius that balances quick direction changes with the stability needed for longer, sweeping turns. The taillering profile (143–116–132) outlines the widths of the tip, waist and tail, shaping how the ski engages snow underfoot. At just under 2 kg per ski, it strikes a balance between being lively underfoot and offering enough mass for a steady ride in variable snow conditions.

deep descent.
