You could go either way, if you ski where there is A LOT of pow, definitely go H-Bents, but if you have to do a lot of groomers and ice but still do a bit of Pow, go with ObSethed.

Absolutely everything? or just everything soft?

I ski my hellbents any time there is more than 4 inches of snow, or super slushy. Sometimes in the park. They are really FUN for everything, but they don't do EVERYTHING well. just a lot of things.

Obsethed, the HBs are super fun in pow but are a chore everywhere else.

I have the obsetheds and they slay it every where, unless you have a ski for groomer park and all that good stuff HBs but if this is your only ski then get the ObSETHeds, either way you will have a blast.
