The read

A women's-specific all-mountain freeride ski, the Mindbender 99Ti W targets versatility across groomed and off-piste terrain. Its Ti Y-Beam metal layup and rocker-camber profile balance damping and stability with accessible turn initiation, while a 99mm waist sits narrower than most freeride skis in this catalog. Rated for intermediate through expert skiers, it suits a wide range of ability levels seeking a composed, all-conditions ride.

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 15.4-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.

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 1,887 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.

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.
