Pre Order Information

We are excited to offer a number of products for the upcoming Winter for Pre-Order, the best way to lock in your new toys and ensure you don't miss out.

Payment Policy

Your payment will be taken in full upon placing the Order.

The Pre-Order is cancelable & fully refundable at any time for any reason up until the time the products arrive in the shop, from that date the standard 30 day return policy begins. 

Ordering Process

Products that are tagged Pre-Order will be available to purchase via the Pre-Order Button.

If a product is tagged Pre-Order and is showing out of stock, it is either sold out already or Pre-Order details are yet to be confirmed - we will not enable Pre-Order on a product until we have a comfortable level of security about arrival time.

 

When your Pre-Ordered products arrive, we will contact you to confirm shipping details. Your Order won't be shipped without this confirmation to ensure we don't ship to an unattended address. At this time we will also double check any mounting or package information.

If you are Pre-Ordering Skis and wish to build a package, just Pre-Order the skis and we can apply Package discounts later upon arrival of skis and bindings.

If you order products that are both In-Stock and available for Pre-Order in the same order, they will be held and shipped with the Pre-Order. If you want In-stock items to be sent immediately please place them in a separate order.

Estimated Dates & Shipping expectations 

The estimated delivery dates listed on our website are based on the best information that we have at that moment. 

These dates are estimates, and given the potential disruptions to logistics and shipping times from international warehouses to us, there is always the possibility that there will be last minute delays that we cannot control.

In cases of delays, we pledge to be up front and transparent to keep you up to date with the latest information about the timing of your order. If any delays don't meet your expectations in regards to timing we can easily swap into another product or cancel the order, no questions asked.

Description

The Mindbender 85 Alliance is the narrowest option in K2’s latest and greatest innovative series, the Mindbenders. Alliance in the title is a reference to K2’s incredible women’s team who get involved in order to create the best possible product. The Mindbender 85 might not have the prettiest name, but it’s a beautifully designed ski. Featuring K2’s Correct Flex technology, meaning the smallest length (149cm) will have a flex profile that suits the length of the ski, rather than that of a longer ski. Small details are what make K2 skis perform incredibly.

Who’s it for?

The Mindbender 85 Alliance is a great first ski for those who want to ski a bit of everything. Beginner to intermediate skiers will love how predictable and easy to ski they are in a huge range of conditions. These skis allow you to take your skills to the next level no matter what terrain you end up in. More advanced skiers will find them intuitive, easy going and great fun if don’t ski as hard as they once used to.

Why we love it?

Lots of shops will push ladies who aren't as experienced skiers into a heavy, carving ski that only excels on groomers and is a chore to ski anywhere else. The Mindbender 85 Alliance is the type of ski that both excel on groomers and everywhere else. Getting dragged through the trees by your ski posse? These babies will greatly outperform any narrower ski.
