When introducing the Mindbender collection in 2018, K2 made it a goal to convey our vision of freeriding through a cohesive product assortment. They knew that skiing cannot just be one thing. The word “Freeride” holds different meaning to skiers in Vermont, Whistler, Chamonix, and Niseko. K2 saw the necessity to move forward and continue to push skiing, and the gear built for it, to new levels. So, they put our heads together to find a bit of that heritage flavor and called in the big dogs! Working alongside long-time Team rider Sean Pettit to bring this project to life, we looked to the iconic Merlin 7 from 1998 for a nod to the Salad Days. Moving forward without losing sight of where K2 came from, and they’re pretty damn proud of the outcome - the Mindbender 108Ti as envisioned by K2 and Sean Pettit.

Slap 'em down and let 'er buck - the Mindbender 108Ti is meant to run. Utilizing our Titanal Y-Beam construction, this freak of a ski is meant to do one thing: mash. From deep pow to the chalky steeps, this beast is the big-mountain charger you've been waiting for. Toss in a relaxed turn radius and an even flex, and you'll be wondering why it took you so long to hop onboard.
