K2 Mindbender Skis

[SirVicSmasher]

Broke out my MB108’s (186) for the first time in a while today. I forgot how solid this ski is for how easy it is to ski. I don’t understand why people think this is a challenging ski unless they are really lightweight or are on the wrong size. The 186 feels perfect to me and makes me want to try the 193 on a bigger mountain than Stevens.

It’s not that they are hard to ski. It’s that there is something off when running a carve. May be a tune. I’ll be checking.

Check for base high . Mine were that way out of the plastic

Seemed pretty flat with my true bar. Like actually really good for a mass produced ski.

Much better at +1, still not to my liking though. +1.5 was too much tail. I’ll be selling them. Anyone want a pair of 184’s with less than 10 runs on em?

Took me more than a day for it to click with the 99s but when it did I was happy I didn't give up on the ski. They aren't the most intuitive , intact I found myself reminding myself not to try and over power the ski. When I try and steer it from the knee down the tail kind of fights you but if I steer it more from my hips earlier but with less muscle it does what I want. This is just my strategy and seems counterintuitive for a ski like this but it works and I can't think of a ski I'd rather be on in most conditions.
Think of it like a boat... they are difficult to maneuver until you get them on a plane .

Took my friends Mantra 102’s out to confirm I hadn’t just forgotten how to ski. They carved beautifully, powerful, fun in the bumps.

Jumped back on the K2’s same feelings, ski just hangs in the fall like for me during a carve and doesn’t come around with any energy. Hard to describe but feels like it has a 25m+ turn radius.

Something about this ski is not for me. I don’t need to learn to ski again haha!

But thanks for the encouragement!

Is the plane on a treadmill?
