K2 Hellbent Skis 2012 |
Do you live in a land of powder, where snow does fall by the hour? The K2 Hellbent is the perfect tool for skiers that will be in line for first chair because you were up all night anyway. At a massive 132mm underfoot, with K2's Powder Rocker, the Hellbent is made for deep and untouched powder. The directional taper, and a 151mm tail make this bad boy a great backcountry booter stick, or you can laugh at your friends while you slay powder switch in front of them. Hardware in the tip and tail make the installation of K2's precut climbing skins devilishly fast. A favorite in the Pacific Northwest or anywhere that gets lots of deep snow. Get your Hellbent while you can. Made with evil.

Hey I'm Kevin. I just got off the K2 Hellbent. I love this ski, it's hardpacked here today but with the new sidewall construction it still has a ton of edge grip. There's a lot of side cut on the ski so it carves real well. I'm not gonna say there wasn't a bit of chatter but still I didn't lose a lot of confidence in it. I wouldn't bomb down groomers at Mach 1 but in the powder this ski is amazing. I've had the chance to ski it in some pow, unbelievable flow you can skid your turns very playful, very buttery ski so definitely one of the top freestyle powder skis on the market. This gets 4 1/2 out of five stars from me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hi I'm Kyle. I'm with the K2 Hellbent. This was a pretty fun ski, It's a great ski for basically mostly powder which we didn't have much of but it still held pretty good on the groomers. You could definitely carve a little bit with them it took a little bit of energy to get up on It's edge but who are we kidding, this is pretty much a powder ski so that's where you would keep it but with the powder rocker it's pretty easy to go through trees and any amount of snow you really need to, so I give this skis for pretty much all around use a good 4.5 out of 5.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hey this is Micah. I'm riding the K2 Hellbent. Completely inappropriate for Michigan but this thing is a lot of fun. I can see out West where this thing would be a lot of fun IN the back country where they're got a lot of deep snow. for here It's just a little too much. It's got a fully rockered ski to it so it stays above the powder so you don't get sunk in. I'm guessing so I'd give it a 4/5 on pow even though we don't have any pow to shred.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hey Thom here with the K2 Hellbent. I give this guy four out of five stars. Real fun for a powder ski. Nice ride, tons of rocker in the tip and tail but it actually turns pretty easily. It's not hard to get up on edge so any time you have to reverse cattrack ride a groomer to and from stashes of snow It's going to be able to handle it real well. Definitely not for an intermediate skier, definitely not for somebody who's going to be spending most of their time on hard pack but if you're an absolute powder skier or you just want that second ski that's going to be a specific powder ski these are great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about K2 Hellbent Skis 2012:
This ski is so much fun to jib around the mountain with. If your skiing powder or carving turns on softer snow you will like these skis. They are super soft and playful. With the 160 rocketed tips, you just float up and over the powder with ease. It has camber underfoot so going from powder runs to cat walks back to the chairlift is so easy. But don't think that you're going to just use these sticks on deep days. You can still rock them on the groomers and play around with them on softer snow. Other then riding rails you can rock these skis all day.
