K2 Mindbender 98ti Alliance

The Powder Union found the versatile 98mm waist and the long effective edge to be the perfect balance of power and fun, adding that the ski stuck to groomers like magnets, but still had great turn initiation. Others found the tip made it easy to roll into turns, even in cruddy snow or tight trees. K2 credits that versatility to the Titanal Y beam, a tuning fork of metal, narrow in the tail, solid edge-to-edge in the waist, and it forks in the tip to give control. The ski also has what they call a Carbon Spectral Braid, an offset mesh of carbon fiber which helps with torsional rigidity and flex.

So this is what it looks like to over-engineer a ski.

The dimensions you put are wrong! They’re the ones of the mindbender 116 😉
