Im looking to get a new set of boards this summer for next winter but im not sure what to get. I dont ski any park, and I pretty much only ski groomers when im skiing back to the lift. I love skiing fast, and I love skiing switch. Love the drops (10-15 ft). Im 200lbs, so really looking for something stiff. I was thinking the 2011 Hellbents, but not sure how they would hold up on landings for someone of my weight. I skiied the 2010 hellbents and they were horrible for me, I washed out on every landing. But I heard that they made them stiffer this year. But anyways looking for a fat ski. Fat. Fat. Fat. And looking for something in the size range of like 184-192. Thanks ns. +k for advice.
 
If you like skiing switch you will hate the Comi, it's a swallowtail which means skiing switch doesn't happen with that ski. You should check out the Atomic Bent Chetler, ON3P Caylor, or Nordica's got a new one coming out called the Radict that is badass too. All of these seem to be more conducive to what you are looking for. AS far as the Hellbents they are not much stiffer that last year... K2 doesn't make a stiff ski. I would check those out if you are looking for something wider underfoot, stiffer and something you can ski switch. Hope this helps.
 
Comi's arnt swallow tail, te comi kazis are. but anyways, skiied the bentchetlers this year, not a bad ski. Wish they were longer.
 
This^^

But if you want something similar to the hellbent, with tip and tail rocker, (although I've never skied it) the 191 caylor sounds like what you need. It would at least do a hell of a lot better than the hellbent for someone your weight.
 
Sorry, bout that check this out though.http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://content.backcountry.com/images/items/medium/MMT/MMT0014/S192S.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Moment-Comi-Ski/MMT0007M.html&h=300&w=300&sz=26&tbnid=RtcV_dWJvr45HM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcomi%2Bski&hl=en&usg=__RBg7t5RXzGDOlmR2nWrCAEdOhJE=&sa=X&ei=mx0RTJ3QGZjtnQfzzK3pBw&ved=0CCoQ9QEwAw
They're swallowtail here.
 
Yea thats the one thats swallowed. But anyways, too all that have or have skied the caylors, whats the flex like, whats it comparable to? Ive skiied pontoons, ll2s, bentchetlers, blogs, hellbents.
 
i didn't read the switch part..

so ya, 191 caylors ftw. think hellbents but better in every single way
 
volkl chopsticks. i have them and they are a bit on the stiffer side and are a symmetrical powder ski so you can shred switch nicely and they have a full tip and tail rocker. they are also 128 underfoot so they are fat.
