K2 Hellbent Alpine Ski

November 22, 2010

I am undecided between the 2011 Obsethed and the 2011 Hellbent. I am 5'7" 140lbs and am looking at both in 179cm. I had last years Hellbents till the sidewall blew out, received a refund though and need to replace them. I have several other pairs of skis so these will be my backcountry powder skis. I ski a lot of tight trees, drop cliffs, pillow lines, tight couloirs and anything steep and deep I can find in the backcountry of Colorado, Jackson Hole, Whistler and this year even Chamonix. I almost never ride switch though, so I am starting to question weather the hellbent is a good fit for me with its new huge dimensions. Can anyone give me a push toward one of these skis.

K2 Hellbent Alpine Ski

January 29, 2010

Ok, 2 weeks ago on a trip to Jackson Hole I got a pair of these mounted with dukes and the ski shop mounted them off center on both skis. The front of the bindings are dead center, the back of the binding is off center by about 1.5mm on both skis. Doesn't look like much, but I have an engineering mindset and that 1.5mm is pissing me off! Is it worth trying to have them re mounted or should I ignor it and just go ski them.

G3 Alpinist Climbing Skin

October 13, 2009

I am 5'6'' 140lbs and have 174cm K2 Coombas (135-102-121) and I am looking at these G3 skins. Is it worth getting 130ish skins and trim them to cover the base wall to wall or should I go with a skin around 100mm that covers the base under foot. I do not want a boat to drag up hill, but at the same time want enough coverage not to slide back. Any thoughts?
