{"product_id":"2026-k2-mindbender-90c-skis-ks250945","title":"2026 K2 Mindbender 90C Skis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2026 K2 Mindbender 90C is the lightweight, freeride-inspired sibling of the Mindbender Ti skis. It's ideal for skiers who want energy, versatility, and maneuverability without the weight or stiffness of metal. It’s quick, intuitive, and just loose enough to feel playful when conditions soften or the terrain gets tricky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt keeps things light and lively while still holding an edge. Perfect for skiers who want performance without the punishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntermediate to advanced skiers who want a balanced, easygoing all-mountain ski with a playful feel and solid all-around capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a 90 mm waist and K2’s Spectral Braid construction, the Mindbender 90C feels quick edge to edge but has the width and rocker profile to explore off-piste. The Carbon Boost provides extra pop and energy through turns without adding weight, while the Aspen Veneer core keeps the flex progressive and responsive. It’s a great choice for skiers who want one ski to carve, slash, and explore with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThings to consider:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 90C doesn’t have the same top-end stability or dampness as a ski with metal in its construction, so if you're the type who skis fast in variable or firm conditions and wants a ski that stays glued to the snow at high speed, you may find the 90C a bit too light or reactive. It's best suited for moderate speeds, all-mountain versatility, and playful terrain rather than aggressive, hard-charging lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; sizing considerations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkis true to size. Choose your usual length for all-around performance, or size down for a more agile, turn-friendly ride.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"K2","offers":[{"title":"160","offer_id":50062116290856,"sku":"KS250945|160","price":599.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"166","offer_id":50062116323624,"sku":"KS250945|166","price":599.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"172","offer_id":50062116356392,"sku":"KS250945|172","price":599.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"178","offer_id":50062116389160,"sku":"KS250945|178","price":599.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/5135\/6456\/files\/2026-k2-mindbender-90c-skis-ks250945-ks25094500.jpg?v=1774449663","url":"https:\/\/checkout.skiessentials.com\/products\/2026-k2-mindbender-90c-skis-ks250945","provider":"Ski Essentials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
