Trampoliny

By Backcountry.com Employee March 20, 2009

In Powder The K2 Hellbent skis is like riding a trampoline down the mountain. These skis are super fun when all you have is a few inches to get the most out of. They are very playfull, jumpy and a sinch to ski. These skis make skiing powder easier than skiing groomers. Jumping off stuff takes some getting used to as you don't have to lean so far back to make the skis rise to the surface, you need to be more centered on the ski and they will do all the work. Once the mountain gets tracked out though they become a little much for me to handle being as they are really soft and don't like to ski the crud or bumps at all. I am 5''6' 140 and the 179s were great for my moderate skiing ability. The K2 Hellbents are a great ski to have in your quiver but not as your daily driver.
