Replying to A few questions about hellbents...
Right I guess first of all I should provide a bit of background... I am 5'11" but only 150lbs so pretty light. I have been skiing for a few years, never did any racing as a kid. I am from the UK but love skiing so much that every winter I head out to work in resort, last season I worked in whistler, this season in France, this summer in NZ and then back to whistler next winter. At the minute I have some 176 dumonts for park and line blends for all mountain, the blends are 179 and dive in anything over 6 inches of pow. Last year I had some lizzies but they were too short to float too. I am thinking of getting a 80% pow ski and an all-mountain ski. As a result I want the Hellbent for my pow ski.
So my questions are as follows.
1) will HELBENT fit in a double roller bag with the dumonts or does the rocker mean it takes up all the baggage space, or can you strap the tip and tail for carriage in order to minimize the rocker.
2) Should I go 179 or 189, I do very little charging and float fine on a 179 maiden.... I am thinking the 189 would be too much work for me as the largest I huck is 20 feet.
