Consumer Reports

The Faction Dictator 2.0X is an ideal ski for the value-seeking ripper-chick. It loves to roll around at high speeds, providing outstanding edge-hold and stability, and carves a clean arc with the best of the skis in our test. In choppy snow and difficult conditions, the Dictator mounts a military coup, razing down everything in its path. Faction is offering a powerful ski for an affordable price.
The Dictator needs a highly competent skier to drive it precisely. This ski is not a great choice for beginner to intermediate skiers who are still gaining confidence; these skis are bossy. You need to tell them who is actually in charge rather than allowing them to rule with impunity. This ski also lacks the exceptional flotation in powder that some skis in our review boast. However, if you are a highly skilled and assertive skier who wants a dependable ski for a good price, look no further than the Faction Dictator.

 At 95mm underfoot, the Dictator 2.0X is a versatile off-piste performer that's more than capable in deep snow but you might want something a little wider if you're heading in the direction of Japanese powder. All in all, a really solid, if not particularly playful ski that will satisfy powerful, confident female skiers. Whilst it definitely requires a solid drive, if you like to be in the front then you'll be pleased with how the Dictator 2

0X is a classic freeride, flat tail ski that demands to be skied with power, commitment and grandes cojones (or the female equivalent). With two layers of Titanal surrounding a lightweight poplar/paulownia core, the Dictator 2.0X has been built with strength and stability in mind and delivers excellent edge hold if you fully commit to the carve.

The Mindbender 106C Alliance women's skis by K2® are all-conditions, women's-specific freeride skis. They have a mid-fat 106mm waist, a lightweight Aspen Veneer wood core, and K2's Spectral Braid technology that incorporates carbon fiber stringers along the length of the ski.
Key Features:
- All-Terrain Rocker™ – These skis have a gradual rise to the tip for versatility in all snow conditions. They also feature a shorter, lower-rise tail to help aid control in changing snow conditions.
- Spectral Braid – These skis are made with patent-pending, first-of-its-kind variable angle reinforcement. The change in fiber orientation along the length of the ski allows K2 to stiffen the ski where they choose and add playfulness by loosening the fibers.
- Aspen Core – The aspen wood used in the core makes these skis lightweight, resilient, and perform well in all conditions.

 All the Mindbender skis for both men and women feature what's called torsion control design philosophy in which we make the ski a little bit more torsionally stiff in the forebody of the ski to make it nice and precise and easy to initiate turns and then we gradually relax that stiffness as we get towards the tail to make the ski nice and easy to manipulate and compliant when you want to manipulate that turn shape. So from a freeride setting that's a perfect blend of precision as well as forgiveness. The Mindbender 106 Carbon Alliance features a women-specific wood core and then also a ton of technology built into this. It's a little bit lighter weight ski because it's really meant for softer snow and powder snow conditions and what we do to we complement that lightweight women-specific core with a full carbon fiber spectral braid in which we can vary the angle here in the forebody so it's nice and tight to make that ski very precise from a turn initiation standpoint but then those angles in the variable X cloth here really get more relaxed as we get towards the tail and that allows it to slash and drift whenever you want it to

 So whether you're making a longer radius turns down a mellow or back bowl slope in the pow or you're skiing a tight shoot this thing is going to really be easy to manipulate the turn shape on. It features a powder rocker forebody as well as tail so it's going to give you tons of flotation especially with that 106 waist width it's going to be a phenomenal ski for your expert level female skier looking for something for the best days of the year as well as something that's still versatile enough to ski the day or two days after a good storm that 106 waist width still going to give you plenty of flotation in the crud and chewed up conditions but still not so wide that it's not going to be effective on hard pack at all. It features also a full vertical sidewall here and then again that powder rocker is going to make it float really well. The Mindbender 106 carbon alliance definitely going to be an awesome ski for that hard charging female ripper that's looking for an awesome ski for softer snow and powder conditions

K2 Mindbender 106 C Alliance Skis - Women's 2020 Review

 I found that the wide tip was enough on a powder day that you'd get enough float, but you would still be able to navigate the crud and they held a pretty good groomer. They were able to plow through the skied out stuff, but still be able to float through the light and fluffy. I think this ski would be best for an intermediate to advanced, it handles well throughout the whole mountain. The tips, because they are so wide, they can be a little grabby, but you do want that for the powder days, so I think a beginner might struggle a little bit, but I think the intermediate to advanced will have a really fun time and they'll be able to tackle the whole mountain

 I tested the K2 Mine Vendor 106C Alliance. The mine vendors did really well in a variety of terrain.

The People's Ski Test - K2 Mindbender 106C W Alliance

 Someone who's got the strength and ability to carve that turn and flex the ski where it wants to flex and also handle the crud and the powder on those days. For more information on the K2 Mime Bender series, check us out on SkiEssentials.com or follow us on YouTube.

 Also a beautiful ski, it's my favorite graphic in the Mime Bender Alliance lineup. When we talk about where to take this ski, mostly powder with a 106 waist but you still will be able to pop onto the trails and groomers and crud but it's definitely going to have a little bit more float than something with an 80 or 90 waist. So it is definitely more geared towards that free ride powder day. But with the nice shape of the ski, you can take it into the woods, pop into the moguls and bumps and be able to release that tail easily and maneuver your way around

 Construction wise, the ski is constructed of their spectral braid, which is a braid that runs through the ski. In different areas it's tighter woven and in other areas it is a little less woven to help release. So mainly in the tail it's going to help you release and in the tips and under the foot it's going to help you hold that edge throughout that turn. The Mime Bender, which is all in the free ride category, has an all-terrain rocker which has a nice low gradual rise in the tip, camber underfoot and a little bit of tail rise to help you release those tails
