I don't know if this was in response to the Hellbent post, but if you're against Hellbents because you're on the EC, then don't even look at Pillowfights. If you want something that'll shred just as hard here as at your house out west, from what I've heard, Hellbents wouldn't be that bad of an idea. A lot of people end up taking them into the park a few times and have no complaints...I mean...don't try to make them your primary park ski, though.

Have you looked into possibly the ON3P Jeffrey or Caylor?

yes looked into both but was looking for a ski with a wider waiste. hellbents have really caught my eye.

They also have a Wicked deal on last years for 469$ should i take?

I've never owned them, so this is just what I'd do, but yeah. They sound like awesome skis for most conditions.

Check out Icelantic gypsy. Wanted to demo last year but not enough snow. It's a lot like the hellbent but supposedly stiffer underfoot allowing more stability in diverse snow conditions. $469 at christy sport and they have a few 190 left. I say it's worth checking out if your looking at the hellbent.

I had the k2 ubsethes and I didn't like them for hitting big drops. There really soft so there fun to play around with but if ur charging hard and going of drops and stuff ur gunna have a bad time. I know bought atomic bentchetlers and there supposed to be pretty soft but also stable for hitting drops . On3p caylors would be a good choice
