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 90 C is a light and nimble frontside-oriented ski. It is for the skier who goes all over the mountain and desires a forgiving ski.
Key Features:
- All-Terrain Rocker – The tip of the ski has a touch of rocker to ease turn initiation and plane better in soft snow. Camber throughout the rest of the ski provides edge hold and responsiveness.
- Aspen Veneer Core – Aspen makes for a light and durable core.
- Carbon – Carbon fiber laminate and carbon stringers give a more lively and energetic feel to the ski ski without significantly increasing weight.
- 90mm Waist – 90mm is wide enough for a variety of conditions but built to perform in hard conditions.

 It features a 90 millimeter waist width, full vertical sidewall construction but then what we have is called the torsion control design which is enhanced with this variable x-cloth piece that's in the ski. All right and what the course torsion control design does is it really makes the the skis very intuitive and precise in the forebody of the ski and then we gradually relax the torsional stiffness as we get towards the tail to make the ski very compliant in terms of being able to easily manipulate your turn shape both on piste as well as off trail in softer snow conditions. The way we achieve that with this ski which has an aspen and fir wood core you can see here it's got the variable x-weave carbon fiber strands which basically the angle here in the forebody of the ski is a lot tighter so it makes the ski very precise in the tip and then we gradually relax that angle as we get towards the back of the ski to make the ski's tail more compliant so it's easy to use and forgiving when you need it to be. The 90 millimeter waist width on the ski makes it very versatile for both hard snow as well as getting off trail into some softer snow and powder conditions and again just an incredible value you know check your shopping cart here it's got a really aggressive price point on it so it should be an awesome ski for someone really looking to expand their horizons as far as where they're going all over the mountain in a freeride setting

 How's it going? My name is Clem Smith. I work for K2 Skis here in Colorado talking to you folks today at Christie Sports about the all-new Mimebender 90 carbon. The Mimebender 90 carbon is part of our all-new Mimebender series of freeride skis. These are directional skis that are meant to go all over the mountain and we've got waist widths to accommodate basically every type of conditions you could throw at a skier

K2 Mindbender 90 C Skis - Men's 2020 Review - YouTube

 Hi, I'm Lanning and I just got off the K2 Mindbender 90C. This is a lot of fun. This is going to want to start tapping into a bit of your wider all-mountain category with 90 millimeters underfoot. It's going to be a woodcore with a carbon weave

 You can take this thing bumps, crud, trees. It sells well on open groomers like we're skiing on today. But if you want to start thinking about getting a personal all-mountain ski K2 Mindbender 90C.

 This is going to want to start tapping into a bit of your wider all-mountain category with 90 millimeters underfoot. It's going to be a woodcore with a carbon weave. You can actually kind of see it through the top sheet. And this is going to give you a lot of energy

https://www.skis.com/K2-Mindbender-90-C-Skis-2022-2022/905032P,default,pd.html?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=on_snow_review


The K2 Mindbender 90C is an awesome option for an advanced to expert level skiers who like to spend most of their time on the frontside but trail off from time to time. 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. Carbon and Spectral Braiding hold everything together with added response and liveliness that wants you to make quick transitions when carving. Tear up the frontside or head to the trees with the Mindbender 90 C from K2.

Lanning's Review-K2 Mindbender 90 C Skis 2022-Skis.com

 You know, you're probably making like quick turns on the side of the trail rather than big arcs in the middle of the trail. If that sounds like you, chances are the Mindbender C is the more appropriate model for you. I would venture a guess that both would work and you'd probably have a blast skiing both because they're both a lot of fun. But think about that if you're deciding between the two, if you're deciding between the 90Ti and the 90C

 Big range of skis in the Mindbender collection. This one, the 90C, certainly falls into the all-mountain category and it's quite, quite versatile at that 90mm underfoot waist width. As the 90C, this one uses carbon, so we get spectral braid in here instead of the titanal Y-beam that we see in the metal versions of the Mindbenders. So, overall similar concept, you know, they're kind of providing different amounts of torsional stiffness in certain parts of the ski, but by using carbon they do it a little differently

 And it kind of comes down to your skiing style. If you're more of a playful skier, like to make a lot of quick movements out there, you know, maybe you're like always looking for a new mogul line to ski. You know, you're probably making like quick turns on the side of the trail rather than big arcs in the middle of the trail. If that sounds like you, chances are the Mindbender C is the more appropriate model for you

 You know, I think a lot of people look at skis like this and just quickly assume like that's the intermediate ski and the 90Ti is the advanced expert ski. And like sure, that's not necessarily wrong, but I don't think that tells the whole story. You know, I think an expert ski can get on the 90C and have a blast. You know, I personally find some benefits to both models
