K2 Mindbender 89Ti Ski Review

A nasty weather day called for a bunch of ski demos! On this day, I tested the Nordica Enforcer 88, Salomon Stance 90, and K2 Mindbender 89 Ti - three directional all-mountain skis with minimal tail rocker and maximum carving for the category. I found the Mindbender to be a super traditional frontside ski with a stiff tail and enough dampness to really charge and avoid chatter - race-like! A really nice hard charging ski for an athletic East Coast intermediate or lightweight East Coast advanced skier who focuses mostly on groomers and needs great edge grip, the ability to carve excellent, strong turns, and enough flexibility to go off trail every so often. Glad they upgraded to full sidewall this year; hopefully they will upgrade to nicer-looking topsheets next year:)

Hey man! Love the videos. as a fellow North Carolinian I love to see app ski mountain! One suggestion, you could try to point your camera down a little. Thanks for the vid!

[@DescentAtBest]

Yeah wait till you see the new Beech Mtn vid- too far down! Doh!

[@teresezingg3114]

Love my Pinnacle 95TIs.

[@zebgersonde]

@@DescentAtBest I’m exited to see it!

[@GalenKiser]

I would say use a head mount but use a wider camera like maybe a insta 360 idk

[@DescentAtBest]

I have the max lens mod for width but it’s just about the angle on the chest mount. I had it dialed for skiing at the end of last year’s videos but never wrote it down lol so I’m having to rediscover it
