The Blizzard Zero G 105 is the best heavy-ish all-around backcountry ski we have used in recent years. It does everything very well, especially considering its weight. At 1500 grams, there are many lighter options on the market, but the ones we've tested ski more poorly than the Blizzard. Going the other direction, one must tack on a couple hundred grams of mass before matching or exceeding the ski performance of this award winner. 
Weight to performance ratio is the real and definitive measure of an all-around ski for human-powered use. In that matrix, this Blizzard shares the top of the heap. For a long time, we have picked two highest award winners; one super light and the other "normal" light. The Zero G 105 is the "normal light" award winner. The primary compromise in its performance is in firm snow. It doesn't grip quite as smoothly or confidently as we would like in an all-around ski. It does well enough, but this is the drawback we have to comment on.

 Super handy, nice little design for the skin so I highly recommend those. With the Zero Gs they do have of course a nice early rise in the tips. We've got some generous camber, moderate camber underfoot and in the tail we've got a slight up rise as well. So these are the Zero G 105s, I'm 180 pounds, I ski on the 188, 6 foot tall, 6 foot 1

 I've been skiing the 105s for two seasons now. I got a pre-production model and tested them for a year and then wrote the review and I've been skiing on them all this year as well. So the new thing with the Zero G skis is the carbon drive 2.0 construction

 So great and variable snow conditions. The Zero Gs also use a rounded 3D top edge design. So you can see that on the top edge here and that reportedly reduces the ski weight by about 15%. There is also a skin notch in the tip and also in the tail of the ski as you can see and you can buy pre-cut mocha skins

 We've got some generous camber, moderate camber underfoot and in the tail we've got a slight up rise as well. So these are the Zero G 105s, I'm 180 pounds, I ski on the 188, 6 foot tall, 6 foot 1. The 180 was a little small so I do find the 188 to be an ideal size for me. They do come in a 164, 172, 180 and 188 centimeter lengths

The K2 Mindbender 85 Skis are designed for those who want to start to adventure beyond groomed terrain. They have a shorter turning radius, a forgiving build, and are lightweight skis, which will easily allow for confidence-building for intermediate skiers and beyond. These skis will remain trustworthy for riders while their abilities progress.
Key Features:
- All Terrain Rocker – The all-terrain rocker in the Mindbender 85 is a gradual rise in the tip, with a shorter section of rocker in the tail for greater versatility in all conditions.
- Aspen Veneer Core – Lightweight Aspen wood in the core of this ski fine tunes energy, power, and ability to rebound quickly while turning.
- Flexible and Forgiving – With a stated 5/10 flex, this ski is forgiving, easy to turn with, and has intuitive nature when skied.

The K2 Mindbender 85 Ski is a forgiving frontside-oriented ski for beginner or lightweight intermediate skiers.
Key Features:
- 85mm Waist Width – At 85mm underfoot, the Mindbender 85 is designed for hard snow and groomers.

The K2 Mindbender 85 Skis are the 85mm waisted ski in K2's Mindbender Series. The Mindbender 85's are designed for the intermediate skier who is looking to expand their skills into off-piste terrain. Featuring a rocker-camber profile, these skis will float easily in powder and ski over any snow condition. The camber extends mostly through the tail with a little bit of rocker at the end. This tail design works to propel the skier forward at the end of a turn while still allowing the skier to release the tails easily when navigating tight terrain. A uniform aspen wood core keeps the skis lightweight and energetic and K2's Slantwall construction makes the skis feel very agile underfoot without sacrificing any power.
Key Features:
- Rocker-Camber Profile – K2's "All-Terrain Rocker" features rockered tips for float off-piste and camber underfoot for excellent carving performance.
- Aspen Core – Aspen is a lightweight and springy wood, making these skis easily maneuverable for someone looking to start venturing off-piste.
- Slantwall Construction – K2 lays the sidewalls of the ski at a 30 degree angle to increase the ski's responsiveness when being laid on edge without sacrificing power from the ski.

The 2023 K2 Mindbender 85 is designed for the female beginner to intermediate frontside skier. The 85mm waist width and slight rocker in the tips makes the Mindbender a great option for those skiers looking to mostly ski groomers, but want to venture off into some lighter off-piste terrain. The slight tip rocker, fiberglass laminate and solid camber underfoot makes the mindbender a great option for the resort skier starting to venture off-piste.
Key Features:
- All-Terrain Rocker – The added rocker allows for use in all conditions, and the low rise shape in the tail helps when skiing varying snow conditions.
- Aspen Wood and Veneer Core – This combination makes the ski stable and strong without being overly heavy or burdensome to turn.
- SlantWall Sidewall Construction – K2 incorporates a 30 degree shaping to the sidewall which keeps the ski nimble and responsive when putting the ski on edge.

 Hi, I'm Thom. I just got done skiing the K2 Mindbender 85 and this is a fantastic ride for that skier who's maybe rented 5, 6, 7 times and is looking for their first set of skis but doesn't want to go the more traditional carving route. The Mindbender profile definitely leans all mountain but with the 85 waist it's geared towards groomed and packed and conditioned snow. Where this ski is most at home is those nice medium mellow GS turns

The K2 Mindbender 85 is a great option for beginner to advanced intermediate skiers who looking for good introduction into all mountain skiing. A lightweight woodcore paired with the innovative sidewall delivers unmatched response when you want to lay the edges down for instant contact point engagement to the snow. Ditch the rentals and start exploring the rest of the mountain with more control and style with the Mindbender 85 from K2.
