If you’ve ever watched McKenna Peterson ski Alaskan spines, you’ll understand exactly what she was looking for in the redesign of the Mindbender 116C W. Supreme float, effortless maneuverability and confidence-inspiring stability are the focus on the Mindbender 116C W and girl, did they nail it on the head with this one. Featuring the brand’s spectral braid technology, K2 can alter the fiber orientation along the length of the ski for precise torsional stiffness and flex—no matter what angle the forces are coming from. This creates an incredibly lively and energetic feel with no compromises. Tester Heidi Lauterbach admits she’s a “big fan…big, big fan. Its light, fast and turns on the fly.” Steph Petter adds, “At first, it seemed really big, but once you ski it, it’s super easy to maneuver, and at speed, it’s super stable and fun to let them run.”
