We sat down with K2’s head ski designer, Jed Yeiser, to go into the weeds on several of the new skis they’re releasing for the 2022-2023 season, including the all-new lightweight freeride Dispatch series, as well as their overhauled metal-laminate freeride Mindbender Ti series, each of which feature some very interesting new tech.

Great video, the Dispatch skis sound super interesting and I’m excited to read your full review! On another note, Jonathan, have you skied Bridger Bowl? I have a hunch you may love the mountain, specifically the ridge. I personally haven’t made it out to CB yet, but from the way you talk about the mountain it sounds very similar to Bridger in terms of its technical terrain.
