K2 Hellbent size and mounting question: I'm 5' 9" about 200lbs and ski aggressively on K2 P2s and Fujitives in 169. I'm looking to get Hellbents this year so I can round out my arsenal with a good powder/big mtn ski. I ski fairly aggressively all mtn and I'm moderate in the park. What's your rec on size and mounting position.

I'm 5'10 180lbs, so that's pretty close to you, but I would definitely recommend the 179 size for you, the 169 would feel too short because of the rocker. As for a mounting position, if you are planning to ride switch in the pow, mount center, if you are planning to ski it mainly forwards, a good safe call is around 2 or 3 cm back from center, because the ski is designed to be ridden more in the middle, it just skis better like that.
