I have not, but I've found these guys do a good job on reviews. It's unchanged from 2024, so you may be able to save some money by going back a season.

Re: K2 Mindbender 99Ti, Anybody Ski Them.
Long story short. I have a pair I bought last year for alpine then decided to go full boat tele and mount outlaws on them. Skied one day on them, pulled the Outlaws off and mounted them up on Summitcone Exile 106's. It may have something to do with the long tail rocker the K2's have. Anyhow, with more days tele turning I figured I'd remount them and give them another try since I am looking for ski 100 uf or slightly less. If they don't work out, I will probably order some Sc Pariah's.
Ski Essentials does great reviews and that is where I got them.

Re: K2 Mindbender 99Ti, Anybody Ski Them.
@Wingman25, I am skiing the 23/24 model in 184 w/ Outlaw X and TX Pro (I’m 6’3” / 175#).
I’m liking them ok. Not in love, but they work just fine.
Seem to ski a range of western conditions fairly well.
Punch through chopped up conditions with composure.
Tried the MB106C and didn’t like it — maybe too much rocker, even in the 189cm.
But, it all comes down to preference, style, and experience (I’m so, so).

Re: K2 Mindbender 99Ti, Anybody Ski Them.
Thanks for taking the time to respond, I'm 5'6", 155lbs and have 172 cm. I'll get on them next week in the Wasatch and as long as they are OK, I can use them for early season jaunts.
I'm wearing Crispi Evo's and the new TX Pro's. I have yet to break in the Pro's and hope the cuffs and bellows start to play nice, as this is my touring boot.

I have a pair of the narrower 2021 Mindbender 90Ti's, they're fun! Even flex, hold well, float well enough for me...
