Product Info
Get HellBent on awesome powder performance with the all-new 2008 K2 HellBent Ski. This Factory Team-inspired backcountry beast takes K2’s rocker design and applies it to a true backcountry twin tip ski. K2’s Factory Team tested this rockered ski over the past two seasons and fine-tuned it into a tool that makes it freakishly easy to land, no matter if you’re riding forward or switch. The fattest ski in K2’s twin tip line, the HellBent boasts an impressive 150-mm tip and 122-mm underfoot, with a hellish bend in the tip and tail for maximum float, while the minimal sidecut keeps the ski from deflecting in chopped-up or variable snow. The ski measures and looks longer than 179cm, but skis short because of the rocker design. Be a backcountry devil with the brand-spankin-new K2 HellBent Ski, and get a taste of true powder twin performance.

Terrain
Big Mountain Big mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Powder These skis are for the deep days. If you like to find powder stashes at your local resort, go on backcountry missions for the freshest of fresh or heli ski trips to BC, powder skis are what you need to stay afloat. Skis in the powder category are wide and most often have some form of rocker or early rise plus a relatively soft flex. Many powder skis today are versatile enough to handle mixed conditions and harder snow.

Ability Level
Advanced-Expert Whether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you'll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Tail Type
Full Twin Tip Desinged to allow you to ski backwards, full twin tips are found primarily on park & pipe skis and freestyle powder skis. More and more, we are seeing twin tips on all-mountain skis of all abilities, as it makes it a little easier to get around, and for the most part does not inhibit forward skiing.
