  • Mindbender 89 Ti - Realskiers

    The redesigned K2 Mindbender 89 Ti dramatically outperforms its predecessor thanks to an updated Titanal Y-Beam construction. Adding metal structure to the tip and tail yields quiet, secure edge hold on hard snow while preserving strong capability in off-piste conditions and fresh snow. It carves smooth, round arcs with notable power underfoot, proving versatile as an everyday resort ski.

  • 2022 Blizzard Rustler 10

    The Blizzard Rustler 10 is an accessible off-piste ski suited for advanced skiers. It shines in chopped-up snow and forested powder stashes due to its drifting and swiveling qualities. While it lacks tight-carving hard snow performance, it remains surprisingly capable and stable on groomed terrain whenever the surface softens slightly.

    “When the nearly expert skier really needs help, the Rustler is a godsend.”

  • 2023 Blizzard Rustler 10

    The Blizzard Rustler 10 provides an accessible, forgiving off-piste experience. Metal underfoot creates baseline stability while softer, torsionally compliant tips and tails avoid catching on uneven terrain. Rather than locking into hard-snow carved arcs, it excels at pivoting, smearing, and navigating tight spaces like powder trees and variable conditions with minimal effort.

    “makes everything about off-trail skiing easier.”
