Just got myself a pair of hellbents 169 , which I know are a tad bit short for me (5 9 and 155) but they were a great deal :)...
I am setting them up for tele. Any recommendation on where to set them up tele? will be mainly skiing forward deep powder.
Thanks

I set a pair of 189's up with hammerheads early this year. Super loose underfoot. Difficult on the groomers. I mounted them boot midsole over the farthest forward alpine mark. I think you chose well with the 169's, cuz the 189's were a trainwreck waiting to happen on hard snow. Hope this helps.
