Lightweight 85 millimeter all-mountain ski with an aspen core

The K2 Mindbender 85 is an all-mountain ski with gradual tip rocker and camber underfoot. The rocker initiates turns and adds float, and the camber holds the edge on groomers, crud, and light powder.


What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These skis are light enough that I can pivot them through chopped-up snow without fighting them. The aspen core is why, and it is the first thing I point an intermediate skier toward."

Phantom Glide by DPS Skis logo over a skier carving on groomed snow

Phantom Glide By DPS Skis

This ski is compatible with Phantom Glide, the long-lasting base treatment from DPS Skis. Backcountry technicians apply and UV-cure it before the skis ship, so they arrive ready to ride with no waxing needed.

How It Works

Applied By Backcountry Techs
Backcountry technicians treat and UV-cure every pair in the shop before it leaves the warehouse, so the skis arrive ready to ride with no setup required.

Glide That Outlasts Wax
Wax sits on top of the base and wears off in a few days. Phantom Glide bonds into the base, so glide stays fast and consistent from cold powder to spring slush.

No More Wax Days
Phantom Glide replaces scraping, ironing, and shop visits with a quick base cleaning using the Phantom Glide Base Care Kit. The formula is made without PFAS.

Mounted And Ready To Go
When skis, bindings, and boots are purchased together, a Gearhead Expert mounts the bindings before the order ships.
