K2 HellBent Skis 2009 – So you’re hell bent on high performance backcountry twin tip riding? Well don’t fret if you missed a pair last year, the K2 Factory Team inspired HellBent Ski is back for the 2009 season. Same design as 2008 with a facelift, the K2 HellBent incorporated K2’s rocker design into a fully functional twin tip. The Hell Bent is the fattest ski in the K2 twin tip line, with an impressive 150 mm tip, 122 mm underfoot and an elongated tail for switch landings. The non-rockered underfoot section of the K2 HellBent skis allow enough versatility to get you out of the backcountry and on-piste without a huge loss of performance. At evo we actually have guys from our shop riding the HellBent in the park. Vertical ABS sidewalls hold up better under intense impacts. Enjoy the backcountry the way you enjoy the park with a pair of K2 HellBent Skis.
K2 HellBent Skis 2010: Often imitated, but never equaled. The K2 HellBent’s twin tip rocker design provides supreme floatation in powder while allowing you to stomp both switch and regular landings in the deepest conditions. Not content being a mere pow tool, the HellBent gives you generous ability to carve your way down to the bottom of back to the lift. Shatter perceptions of what can be done outside the park. The mountain is now your playground: unleash!
Step onto the K2 Hellbent Alpine Skis and find out why Pep Fujas, Andy Mahre, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse all ride them. Folks designing other new-school skis get their knickers all in a twist trying to think of any new shape and sidecut they can, but K2 designers know a tried-and-true hell-raisin’ joyride when they see it. So go ahead and jib the bejeezus out of the powdery backcountry with this classic sidecut twin-tip ski.
Often imitated, but never equaled, the K2 HellBent's twin tip rocker design equals supreme floatation in powder while allowing you to stomp both switch and regular landings in the deepest conditions. Not content being a mere pow tool, the HellBent gives you generous ability to carve your way down to the bottom or back to the lift.
Unleash Hell on the mountain with the twin tip HellBent skis from K2. Often iitated, but never equalled, they are supreme in the powder and even on normal runs. They give 666% in the deep stuff!

Powder Delight! | |
| Rating: |  |
This ski is part of my quiver, small quiv of 2. Besides the performance of these skis in Powder I like the graphics from year to year. When riding the lifts as a single I find people either talk about them or are to scared to say a word to you when they see them on your feet. Schmies once again came up with a great graphic. | |

| I'm an ex 100+ ski days a year junkie, 39 years old and hadn't skied in 5 years. That alone is sick, but I rented these last week in St. Anton Austria where we had a meter (3.5 feet) of new snow. I was fighting through some of this stuff with these slalom carving skis and being use to my old 215 cm Kastle Super G's it was doable with the slaloms but hard work. Then I switched to the Hell Bent, all I can say is Hell Yeah! It took one run to get over the shock of these things but I basically made two hard packed turns then dropped over the edge OB into waste deep windpack then into a bit heavier waste deep snow. Honestly, I might as well have been carving down a pefectly flat groomed slope, no problem keeping balance, no struggle unweighting out of the heavy stuff, plain and simple, awesome. I've never had so much fun on a pair of skis in snow over a meter deep. Left me wondering what I was doing all those years before these came along. Guess sometimes you just have to take a few years off then come back to find technology has caught up with you. I was coming down the steepest of runs with full confidence doing high speed GS or SL turns with the exception that this was more than 3.5 feet of new snow....Where do I sign? | |

EXCELLENT! | |
| Rating: | |
| The first day I rode my Hellbents, I found them to be a little heavy waiting for the chair (I was coming off a light park ski). My first run, was odd, because they floated so well. The ski feels very light when you're actually skiing it. The biggest cliff I dropped on these was only 20 feet. They landed SUPER solid, it felt like dropping five feet. This ski was amazing. It was very good on the way back to the chair, but it sucks in crud. Crud is the only weakness of this ski. I have let a few people take some runs on them and they were stoked, they never wanted to give them back. They ride switch in pow just as good as they do forwards. I found myself throwing 180s off of every little bump and drop. I HIGHLY recommend this ski. | |

K2 Hellbents, the BEST ski made | |
| Rating: | |
| I think I rode my Hellbents about 90 days during this past season and well into the summer slush at Mt. Hood. I am so in love with these skis, no matter what the snow conditions are. They are life changing; floating through powder, rallying through crud and chunder, or gripping and ripping on the groomers, they really can handle it all. Don't be decieved, they actually carve really hard and handle quite well on groomers and firmer snow. But obviously they are a serious powder tool and that is where they excell beyond all other skis I've skied. If you're into the freestyle thing and especially backcountry skiing and jumping, these are definately the weapon of choice. | |

Deep Snow | |
| Rating: | |
This is a really fun ski in Really deep, really soft snow. The ski floats amazingly well, pops off of everything, and stomps hard. This ski can turn pretty well on groomers. But outside of powder you won't really ever want to ski on this ski. From the whole rocker lineup this is one of the least versatile skis on the market. But, you cannot deny how much fun they are in really deep snow. Oh, and if you try to drop something too big or land backseat at all..you will end up on your back. | |

| Im new to touring but deceided to use the Hellbents for skinning this year. The rocker didn't effect the hold on the way up at all. I bought the 189's and had a blast. Mounted them +6 and they still floated great. Very cool. Chattered some at high speeds when the snow was hard, but all in all, pretty dope. Made me look like I've been skiing for years. Even hit the toll Bridge in the park on the way back down. Built tons of confidence. | |

WICKED STICKS | |
| Rating: | |
| The best powder ski I have ever skied. The tail is a little stiffer than the Pontoons and they handle the hardpack much better than the Pontoons. These skies love to run but also handle very well in tight spots and trees. If you are skiing powder at a 7 these skies will bring you up to a 10. A little heavy to do any serious backcounty work. | |

K2, Hell Bents are sick | |
| Rating: | |
| These skis are GREAT. Looks like a lot of ski to be using on hard snow conditions, but it is great. They carve exceptionaly well! And once you hit the powder they SHRED. The rocker is great, keeps the skis on top of the snow. When your huckin a big cliff, you'll most likly stomp it. They are very stable. I love the skis. | |

Hell Yeah--HELLBENT !!!! | |
| Rating: | |
| Purchased the HB's in December '08---I simply cannot get over why I waited so long. I have Pontoons but the HB's are by far a better ski for the deep and steep !!!! Gives new definition to---Snow's Up--Skip Work !!! Cannot wait for another 2' at A-Basin Vail or Breck | |

More versatile than you think | |
| Rating: | |
| I ski this ski everywhere. Floats over anything. Will make you ski faster, help you to slow down faster, and make you a better skier overall. If you have the option to go wide, why not just go WIDE. No compromise on this ski. I ski it everywhere. | |
