So I ordered 189 Hellbents ..

[beermuscles]

How long are they actually going to ski? Anyone know how K2 is measuring these days?

 

[wintersway]

rockered=skis shorter

k2 is usually 5 cm's shorter than actual length from tip to tail as well

 

[Mr_pretzel]

u mean 5 cm longer.

 

[BWalmer]

K2 is measuring their Powder/All-Mountain skis true to size (so 189 Bent, is 189cm), but their park skis are still a bit longer. The rocker will make them ski a bit shorter as well.

They are going to ski fast and fucking awesome. They will ride over small children and trees. Enjoy them and the fear you will instill in parents in lift lines.

Wow I gotta get me some of those.

 

[steezee5]

I have 189s from last year and even at 6'2" 190lbs they still seem huge at times.
That being said, they fucking rock. Have fun. Mount with Jesters or STH16s -2 from core center.

I hear they're made with pure evil

 

[beermuscles]

think that the jesters or sth would work better than fks 140s?

 

[gpitcher]
