this is no way to gain any respect on newschoolers. try being a little nicer to people who put effort into their posts to help you out.

the previous owner of my hellbents mounted them dead center, like divide the ski in half and mount there and i didn't think i'd like it but they're so fun there, i'd say center or like -2 but not much further back and this is coming from someone who rarely rides center mounted skis

sorry to bump this but i couldn't find any info in my height and weight.
So i am 5'5 and like 125, i am interested in hellbents. so i am curious on what size to get. i heard they ski very short, so should i get 179?

probably some groomers and just messing around. would a longer ski handle better on hard pack?
i have a park ski so probably not really.

a smaller ski would be easier to handle on the groomers i rock the 179s and im 5 11 and about 145 and they are perfect SIZE...if your going to be using them for park and rails i might go for a 169 but if you get the 179s they will probably hold you up in the pow better...

basically since you have park skis already i would go with the 179 they prob be perfect for you... it would suck to buy a powder ski and it be too small for you and not do its job in the powder
