Stability at Speed
The Mindbender 90Ti is one of the narrowest skis in our lineup, so we expected on-piste excellence from it, and we weren't disappointed. K2's construction blends a maple and aspen wood core with their titanal Y-beam. We experienced a damp and stable ride quality that was nearly as exciting as our highest scorers. We see this ski providing a solid platform, especially to those on their way to becoming more aggressive skiers.
Carving Ability
Carving performance from the Mindbender 90Ti is confidence-inspiring but not as exciting as other models in our review. Our testers were pleased with this skis edge-to-edge quickness and overall grip. K2's beefy extended ABS sidewall seemed to keep the torsional rigidity of this ski well composed. The Mindbender 90Ti is lighter than the highest-scoring models that have more pop. This weight advantage translates to more forgiveness overall, especially when learning to carve at higher speeds.

Powder Performance
Sizing up, going wider, and leaning back are commonly overemphasized on deep snow days. While 90 millimeters underfoot wouldn't be our pick on truly bottomless days, some skiers enjoy being in the snow rather than on top of it.

As long as you don't plan to push your limits regularly, the K2 Mindbender 90Ti is a versatile, well-rounded ski for all skier types. As a ski instructor, this ski provides stability, carving ability, pop, and playfulness to help improve technique on nearly every run. At 90 millimeters underfoot, it's certainly not a powder ski, nor is it a hard-ch...
If your skiing is mostly on-piste focused, the Mindbender 90Ti's price-to-performance ratio is hard to beat. But if you're lucky enough to play in powder regularly, a wider-waisted ski like the Blizzard Rustler 10 or the Rossignol Black Ops Sender Ti is a more appropriate choice. Suppose you are a hard-charging skier who likes to push it regardless...
