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.
