WTT: 179 Hellbent for 07/08 Elizabeths

Karma: 31
Dont think its the right ski for me..heavier then wat i wanted..mounted with a 20.0 marker comp binding for a 26.5 boot..skied about 4 times...no damage besides a bent brake...
Want something a little lighter and more versatile...something that suits the conditions that i ski in more and fun for the park..i have seen these ridden in the park before but by professioanl skiers that can steeze out a wooden ski even if u gave it to them...so i cant go by that...
Looking for 07/08 lizzie already mounted close to center with reasonable bindings..brand new or slightly used will help the trade...or we can keep bindigns..but i dont feel like remounting twice
If not i will keep these skis or a buddy will take them off my hands...May consider trades for 07/08 seths and others along the line but might need extra
Hit me up a PM for pics

bump for a sick ski, someone should grab these. not only are the hellbents amazing, they are impossible to find. i live in breckenridge, and havent found a single shop in summit county that isnt sold out. someone grab this before its gone.

if you think your skis are too heavy you should put some lighter salomon or look bindings on them, markers are notorious for being extremely heavy, and worthless.

defn considering that...if i do keep these i will sell the bindings and will drop a light solly binding on htem..but i really dont feel like remounting these things...and i rather have a semetrical ski right now to have more fun on all lil more all mountain ski then the Hellbent is...
Still looking for someone that has already mounted a lizzie and who wants to try out the hellbents...gonna be hrd to find someone with the same bootsole and will settle with these bindigns but if they are a little more heavier and stronger than i am it should be a problem...
if im stuck with them...which i will be suprised i can toss out the bindings and grab a better binding for myself i guess?

Keep in mind, my friends 179 Hellbents measure EXACTLY the same as my 185 Nordica Blowers.
They measure quite long

They are the same as the EP Pro, I held them side by side and I'm pretty sure it's the same mold even...the EP is just wider and softer.

i had interest with some 07/08 lizzies but he wants 169 hellbents instead of 179 so these things are still up for grabs...havea few others that are interested with other skis along the lines of lizzies or seths

First of all, a 169 Hellbent would measure about 174/175, secondly, K2 makes the Nancy and the Seth which are available in small sizes, and they have a grom pow ski called the Bad Seed (basically Sean Pettites pro ski). So yes, k2 does have interest in making shorter pow skis.

You'd definitely have to throw some cash in there for it to be even close to a fair trade.

theyre two different skis im sure

Different yes, but I think they use the same press.
Think about it, K2 owns line now so it would make sense to share presses when they can, cause the are friggen expensive. Just go hold them side by side, I'd bet anything they are the same shape, except the EP is wider and softer.

No, we don't share molds or tech. They do their thing, we do ours.Â

I dont know exactly how making skis works, but if presses are what makes the side cut of the ski then they are different cuz the ep pros have the early taper, the tips are wayyy different.

nah, i think the side cut is just based off the profile of the core. I think the press controls the camber of the skis, which on the ep pro and elizabeth aren't the same at all.

Well no joke,,,EP's and Elizabeths don't share a press...
What I'm telling you people is that I've held them side by side, and they are so similar it's scary...first year for a rockered ski for both companys...first year K2 owns Line...seems kinda interesting to me.
