We're just loving the 88's these days. This 2021 K2 Mindbender 88 Ti Alliance is no exception. They can just do a bit of everything that the vast majority of skiers like to do the vast majority of the time. While we all dream of endless and bottomless powder fields, the reality of skiing is actually quite different. Most of us spend most of our time on somewhat smooth terrain in the resort. The 88's are quite best at this. They offer the best edge grip and the most versatility in the least amount of width. There's not a whole lot of need for a 105 to be your everyday ski when an 88 does so much more so much better. Starting with their Aspen wood core, K2 adds the titanal Y-beam that puts all the right strength in all the right places. Stable and precise in the forebody of the ski and underfoot, the ski's metal tapers to the central chord to the tail, allowing for a more playful and fun release from the turn. There's still a lot of power and strength back there as well, so don't worry about holding an edge on firm snow. In addition to that high-performance ceiling, there's also a nice slow-speed compliance that you won't find in all 88's. This makes it so you don't have to be on it 100% of the time-relaxing can be fun on skis as well. Our testers are pretty jazzed on the MB 88 Ti, and they all seem to see the merits in the shape as a great all-around choice
