Can the LL2's charge very well in the bc? Are they light enough to hike with as opposed to hellbents?

yes they can charge, and the shape seems to do well when your hiking or breaking trail on a traverse and you keep you speed much better

Eff the hellbents

I rode hellbents all year last year. LL2's are much easier to hike/move around with/huck/charge/slash/whatever you can think of.

all rocker skis will send you into a wheelie unless you land completely centered.

Yes they will, however with the LL2's you can land on your heels more than other rockered skis because of their flex. So if you don't land completely centered you can still have a chance of riding away.

I think LL2s are easy to land stuff on. And they are light as fuck.  So fun!

i have ridden pretty much every reverse camber and rockered ski on the market and i can honestly say there are only two i  was completely happy with the volkl chopstick and the surface live life...

the flex is so solid for resort riding the three stage rocker allows them to have a longer flat spot in the middle of the ski giving you a lot more control! they are sooo light and nimble ride switch so easily and not to mention make buttering pillows my new favorite thing! theyre like a warm hug!

Hellbents are wicked soft. Eff soft skis in general. Live lifes are nice and sturrrrdy.
