From the manufacturer

The K2 Mindbender 116C is the ski you grab on the best days. The ski you picture while spending all summer dreaming about face shots and pillow lines. The Mindbender 116Cs are built with Carbon Spectral Braid, which braids carbon fiber in variable angles, allowing for variation in the flex and torsion. This means ultimate responsiveness and versatility coupled with a powder-loving rocker and taper profile. New for this year, the Mindbender 116C gets a layer of uni-directional flax. Flax is quickly becoming one of our favorite ski materials for its dampening abilities without adding any weight. The shape has been tweaked to increase maneuverability and playfulness, so this version of the Mindbender 116 maximizes fun while being stable enough to tackle lines the way you dream up. So not only do you grab it on the best days, but all the days in between if there's even a hint of soft snow on the ground. Navigate chop and the scrappy stuff all without a hitch. The Mindbender 116C is one of our favorite do-it-all powder skis to hit the scene in a long time. Similar skis: Salomon QST Blank, Atomic Backland 117, Kastle ZX115.
