The K2 Mindbender 90C W is an all-mountain backside ski built for women who want a single tool to handle groomed runs, variable snow and the occasional off-piste detour. With a waist width that sits in the 89–100 mm range, it strikes a balance between edge hold on hardpack and enough float when you explore softer patches.
At 164 cm, the Mindbender 90C W carries a 130-89-114 mm profile that gives it quick turn initiation without feeling jerky, while still offering stability when you pick up speed. The flat binding mount keeps your options open for pairing with different bindings and tuning your stance. Weighing in at 1 756 g per ski, it’s light enough to feel lively underfoot yet substantial enough to inspire confidence when you’re banking through turns.
The 11.9 m radius refers to the ski’s sidecut – the curved shape that helps it carve arcs of about 12 m in a clean, predictable fashion. The three numbers in the profile (130 mm tip, 89 mm waist, 114 mm tail) explain how the ski’s width changes from tip to tail. A narrower waist delivers solid edge grip on hard snow, while the wider tip and tail assist with balance and flotation when conditions soften.
