Just purchased a pair for the season, and I am really excited to ski the next pow day on them...question is I am trying to figure out the best binding placement??I have read tons of articles on the web, and still have not decided. I do a little of switch riding, but the main use is for big pow days, and big cliffs. Anyone who ownes a pair I would love feedback.

K2 hasn't put them up yet, but on their website, check out the athlete's profiles. They will tell you what size skis they use, and where they mount them. They did it last year, and will probably do it again this year once we get closer to the season. The +4 or +5 marks are pretty forward yet still versatile enough for all mountain riding. +7 is true center by the way.

As far as binding placement goes, it is mostly personal preference. But, based on what was said in your question, I would think about mounting your K2 Hellbents a little bit back from true center. The common consensus is this: the more spinning and switch riding you do, the closer the bindings need to be mounted to the true center of a ski.
