Don't think you could go wrong with any of those.. It depends on where you ski and how much pow they get and your height and weight

For Bridger I would get the Atomic Bent Chetler or the Armada JJ because they will be great in the pow and crud bit also be fun for getting back to the lift after a ridge run

I have a pair of kung fujas and i love them they are super fun and playful all around the mountain they make going down a groomer 10x more fun because there so butter and you can still take them off trial and float in pow.

189 Obsethed is your best bet its the best cross between pow and all mountain

You can't probably use Hellbent's all around the mountain, I also think that Fujas aren't as good in powder as Seth's. they may be good for me(I ski groomers,park,powder), so go with the obSETHed.

By the way, why don't you check Line's out. Line Sir Franscis Bacon's or Mothership's would be a nice point too. If you can't decide in K2's Think about Line's.

If I was doing a season at Bridger and I had to pick between those 3 skis I would go with the Obsethed. Hellbents would be sick when there is new snow but unfortunately there isn't new snow every day and Bridger can get skied out quick.

I have last years Kung Fujas and ski mostly park on them and love them to death.. They are great to go ski the mountain as well, super buttery and fun to ski with.
I have skied next years OB's and they are super fun to ski POW with and they allow you to stomp even the biggest hits, and they are great for the POW, I skied chest deep Pow with them at Deer Valley and they allow you to bring your skiing to the next level and they keep you solid on the cliff and the steep.
I skied next year's Hellbents on a massive POW day at squaw and they are definition of skiing big ski's with that reverse camber they are like skiing a fukin water ski but they are super super buttery and fun to ski in the pow and they kill it when you want to land switch in the POW and drop in switch.. They are a little hard to handle if you are smaller, and super tight tree's like aspens, but except for that they are super dope skis and i love them.
The Kung Fujas are defiantly the best if you want them as a one ski quiver and want to ski them every single day. If not then go for the OB or Hellbent, the OB is ok on the hardpack, and the Hellbent is bearable, but not great on the hard pack, but they are super fun to ski when its super slushy and there is lots of corn. They butter like mad.Hope this helped

179 seths or bents
Personally I would say bents caus their fun as anything

I think Hellbents as a one ski quiver for Bridger would be hell. They would be sick when the snow is deep but the rest of the time they would be heavy and a lot of work.

You could go with the bent chetlers. Or the Mr. Pollard's Opus. Those both look sick for next year, are lighter, less directional than the seth, but more versatile than the bent. oh and post #400
