I bought a pair of 179cm K2 HellBents skis on eBay last February for $400 new in the plastic expecting to get a bunch of powder days on them that year. Well we proceeded to have the driest spring EVER. So I didn't get them mounted up until this winter and finally stepped into them Christmas Eve at Sierra at Tahoe with 2 feet of fresh pow.
First review for the K2 HellBents is obvious: these skis are FAT. They have super fat DIMENSIONS of 150/122/141 tip to tail. You don't even need a snowboard anymore to enjoy deep powder turns if you have skis like this. 122mm underfoot means that you can stomp any landing that you like, you can hop out of trouble on one ski, and you can't go fast enough.
My review of the K2 HellBents is also simple. You need to be steep and deep to bring the k2 HellBents to life. These skis thrive on going fast and launching air. If you aren't trying your hardest to do that, then you don't need these skis.
