The read

The Mindbender 99Ti is a freeride-leaning all-mountain ski built for varied terrain, with a 99mm waist sitting narrower than most skis in its freeride cohort. Its titanal Y-beam layup and tip rocker with camber underfoot deliver damping and edge grip while supporting turn initiation across conditions. Rated for intermediate through expert skiers, it rewards those who want a composed, versatile platform across both groomed and off-piste terrain.

Specs & what they mean

What the Mindbender 99Ti's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 19.6-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

A Y-shaped titanal beam runs through the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 2,200 g it's a planted, composed ski that pushes through rough snow.

Float & width

At 99 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
