Nanolite Composite Core:This ski was built with a Super lightweight, low-density, aerospace grade composite core.
Titanium Layer:A thin, but strong layer of Titanium sits under the topsheet of this ski. Not only does it make the ski stronger, it keeps it lighter than other metals, and also creates a dampening effect for the ski. This means it rides smoother over bumpy terrain.
K2 All Terrain Rocker:20% Tip Rocker, 10% Tail Rocker, 70% Camber. All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions.
Hybritech Sidewall:Hybritech is a unique blend of sidewall and cap constructions. The construction combines the accuracy, power, and performance of sidewall underfoot with the lightweight characteristics and smooth turn initiation of cap construction.
Triaxial Braid:The patented Triaxial Braiding machine interlocks strands of fiberglass around a milled core, resulting in great torsional strength while retaining the lively flex patterns inherent in a wood core ski.
K2 Konic Technology:Revolutionary core design that redistributes weight to the ski's perimeter providing power, strength and stability directly over the edge for performance, while reducing swing-weight from the center and extremities for added ease and control.
Tapered Tip:All Freeride skis come with a new tapered tip design and lower profile to maximize tip predictability. Tips with this design have shifted the widest part of the contact point further back to reduce tip weight and deflection in soft and variable snow conditions.

The K2 Pinnacle 105 ski is positioned in the middle of the new K2 Pinnacle series as the do-anything, go-anywhere, ski everything, quiver of one. Even the most confident skiers will benefit from the lightweight Nanolite core while navigating through trees or floating in powder, as much as the solid and supportive wood cores with metal laminate over the edges when charging through firmer, variable snow. 105mm is a very versatile width that will work great as an everyday ski for most skiers looking to ski a combination of terrain and snow types.<\\\\/p>\\\",\\\"desc_long\\\":\\\"

The K2 Pinnacle 105 ski is positioned in the middle of the new K2 Pinnacle series as the do-anything, go-anywhere, ski everything, quiver of one. Even the most confident skiers will benefit from the lightweight Nanolite core while navigating through trees or floating in powder, as much as the solid and supportive wood cores with metal laminate over the edges when charging through firmer, variable snow. 105mm is a very versatile width that will work great as an everyday ski for most skiers looking to ski a combination of terrain and snow types.<\\\\/p>\\\",\\\"desc_long\\\":\\\"
Nanolite Composite Core:<\\\\/b>This ski was built with a Super lightweight, low-density, aerospace grade composite core.<\\\\/p>
Titanium Layer:<\\\\/b>A thin, but strong layer of Titanium sits under the topsheet of this ski. Not only does it make the ski stronger, it keeps it lighter than other metals, and also creates a dampening effect for the ski. This means it rides smoother over bumpy terrain.<\\\\/p>
K2 All Terrain Rocker:<\\\\/b>20% Tip Rocker, 10% Tail Rocker, 70% Camber. All-Terrain Rocker features an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions.

FAQs
What ski replaced the K2 pinnacle? ›
More Info... The 2021 K2 Minbender replaces the Pinnacle and what a change for the better. With expert all-mountain performance this is the ski we have been waiting for since Line stopped making the Prophet 90 skis. The Y-Beam metal laminate along with a quick turn radius makes for a super versatile ski.
How are powder skis different? ›Powder. Serious powder skis tend to be wider, and generally longer, than piste skis. The flex pattern is often softer, which makes them perform better in deep snow. Powder skis range from 110mm in the waist right up to 140mm.
Is K2 a good ski? ›Seattle-based K2 Sports is among the most recognized ski brands in the world — arguably the most recognized in the United States. They're, in fact, credited with being the creator of the first fiberglass skis.
What are powder skis? ›Powder skis are the fat skis on the mountain. Fun skis, too. Wider than other types of skis, powder skis are designed for off-piste skiing and floating through bottomless powder snow. Nearly all powder skis have some amount of rocker in the tip and tail, which aids in flotation.
Are K2 mindbenders heavy? ›The Mindbender 99Ti is pretty heavy for its size, and since K2 is saying that its speed limit will be difficult to reach, we think that hefty weight makes a lot of sense.
Are K2 mindbenders good? ›A true "instructor's ski", the K2 Mindbender 90Ti surprised our crew of testers with its solid overall performance. At only 90 millimeters underfoot, this ski can still float well through the powder. Lighter than others in our review, K2's Titanal Y-beam helps to keep weight down.
Should you lean back when skiing powder? ›Don't lean back
There is a common misconception that one should lean back whilst powder skiing but in fact while it is important to keep the tips from sinking, leaning back makes It much harder to turn effectively.
Powder skiing is all about control through resistance (flexing and extending), rather than turning. Make that your mantra if you're having trouble; it's more mental than physical. Many new powder skiers also tend to sit back so their tips stay above the snow, but that's exactly the opposite of what you want to do.
What are the easiest skis to use? ›| Ski | Price | Ability Level |

Since their effective edge is short, you can make skidded turns.
Where are K2 Mindbenders made? ›All prototyping for K2, Ride, Line etc is done at the Arc Facility just south of downtown Seattle.
Where are K2 skis made? ›Made right here in Washington State, the USA K2 Alchemist Snowboard is built for experienced snowboarders looking for a quick, fast, and hyper-precise snowboard that will confidently perform anywhere you take it.
How do I find the best skis for me? ›If you want to ski fast, go with a longer pair. Terrain: If your favorite hill is dominated by narrow, twisty trails, look at shorter skis. They're better at quickly maneuvering into tight turns. If you only ski open slopes or mostly ski ungroomed snow, then consider longer skis.
How do ski sizes work? ›The length of your ski depends on your height, weight, skiing style & ability. There isn't an exact formula for determining the right size but in general the proper ski length should be between your chin and the top of your head. For example, a skier that is 6' tall will want to look for a skis between 170 - 190 cm.

As you steer, keep a low edge angle between the skis and the snow so you will drift your turn rather than carve your turn.
Are powder skis good on groomers? ›IMO if you're going to get one ski that can do it all, powder skis are the way to go. They're usually bombproof, super butterable (rocker), nice for groomers with longer turn a longer turn radius, and overall better than park skis or designated all mountains.
Are shorter skis better for beginners? ›As a rule of thumb, beginner-level skiers should ride a ski no longer than the top of their chests. Shorter and softer flexing skis are easier to control, making turning easier and gaining speed less intimidating. The length and waist width of your skis determines how much surface area your ski is touching on the snow.
Are lighter skis better for beginners? ›Generally speaking, a lighter ski will be easier for a beginner to control, especially when it comes to initiating turns on groomed snow.

Should skis be heavy or light? ›Skiers typically feel the difference most in mixed snow conditions, especially hard or refrozen snow, chop, and crust. Heavier skis often feel more confidence-inspiring in these types of conditions because they feel more glued to the snow. Dainty skis can get bucked or deflected easier by cut-up snow.
What makes a ski aggressive? ›The more a ski is leant over the smaller the radius of the edge touching the snow will become, and generally speaking the smaller a carve turn will become.

Why is powder skiing better? ›The Powdery Stuff
Thick, fresh powder is often best for trying any new tricks or for trying to increase personal speed, whether that's on a board or two skis. When the snow is more powder-like, it's also easier to accomplish sharp turns, control speed and hold an edge.
Skiing in deep powder snow actually slows you down. Sometimes, the snow can be so heavy that it's hard to make a turn. Building up a bit of speed and harnessing a bit of momentum is a great way to get going. You can seamlessly make your first turn and build a rhythm to continue down the slope.
Why is powder snow good for skiing? ›Fresh powder
Snow has fallen the night before and left a fresh blanket of snow on the trails! Skiing or snowboarding on powder is much softer and easier on the joints. It is also much easier to make sharp turns or slow down if need be. This would be the day for beginners to head out because falling doesn't hurt!
Wide skis, on the other hand, have more surface area and therefore provide more flotation (think snowshoes as an example). This means that they perform great in powder, but take more effort to turn and are harder to control and sloppier on groomers.
Do wider skis go faster? ›
They Are Faster
First, a bigger ski spreads out the pressure on the surface of the snow, creating less friction. Second, bigger skis dampen vibration, enabling them to bounce around less and stay on the snow longer, minimizing air resistance that can slow you down. Thus, the larger the ski, the faster you go.
The use of wider skis or, in particular, skis with a large waist width, on a hard or frozen surface, could unfavourably bring the knee joint closer to the end of range of motion in transversal and frontal planes as well as may potentially increase the risk of degenerative knee injuries.
