When the K2 Mindbender 108Ti Skis arrived on the scene, they assumed a place of authority in the expert mid-fat category in just a few short months. All it took were a few test rides and some excited chatter among the throng. Needless to say, the hype is real and they got this one right, combining a huge dose of stability under fire, power-packed edgehold, and a versatile shape that responds to a wide range of skier input. The shape of the 108Ti, together with the Titanal Y-Beam and oversized ABS Powerwalls, just WORKS, and this ski is a big reason for K2's sudden re-emergence as a performance leader in the industry.
