The K2 Mindbender 101 W blends width and agility into a women's ski K2 calls a quiver-of-one. It uses a freshly shaped Titanal laminate and Dark Matter Tech for power and stability, on an All Terrain Rocker profile.
The core blends Aspen and Paulownia wood under a Titanal I-Beam covering about two thirds of the ski's width, with Dark Matter weighting in the forebody and mid-tail and a bio resin layup for cold-weather strength.
The trade-off for a wider platform is that it takes a little more effort to roll edge to edge on hard snow than the 88 W or 96 W. In exchange it floats better in soft snow and stays composed in crud.
It is built for intermediate to advanced women who ski the whole mountain and want one ski for nearly every day of the season. Lengths run 157 to 171 cm; most skiers land around nose height.
For women chasing soft snow wherever they can find it, the Mindbender 101 W is a powerful, versatile ski that is ready for anything.
Mild camber underfoot with pronounced tip rocker and mild tail rocker.
Aspen for structure and paulownia for lightness.
Bonds better with the core and adds cold-temperature strength, and is more sustainable than traditional resins.
Added weighting in specific areas of the forebody and mid-tail.
A sheet of titanal between the contact points covering about two-thirds of the ski width.

This guide is for alpine (downhill) skis. Ski length depends on your height, your ability, and how you like to ski. Use this chart as a starting point, then talk to us about the ski itself: rocker, width, and turn shape all change how long a ski feels.
