Hey im not sure which ones and i would like to get them soon. I'm 5'9 and about 165lbs. I will be dropping cliffs no more then 30ft, doing mostly tree ridding, some booters and butters. Also which hellbents: 0 camber or with camber. Thanks!

if you want a stiffer ski go with the new life.

new life is stiffer, but I found them to be as playful as hellbents but a little added stability at high speeds. obviously they won't noodle around like the bents if that's what you're after. I'd recommend the new lifes for performance, although I'd bet the k2's would be more durable in the long run.

I'd go Newlife for a stiffer ski. I loved mine.
