159 public enemies mounted -6 because the swing weight allows you to do double corks

EVERYONE should have hellbents. Buy them for your girlfriend, your mom, you, your baby, anyone. They kill it everything from carving groomers to stomping double corks. Also, I hear K2 put in new technology making this ski perfect for any height, weight, and skiing type. RADICAL.

It really depends. For every person that loves a certain ski, there will be several others who hate it.

But I think the ski that has DEFINED this season (not necessarily the best ski) has to be the Afterbang. It's the most radical construction change skiing has gone through since the foam-wood core migration. And actually, it's a pretty good ski. In the future, when I'm a bit older, a bit balder, etc, and people ask me about the 09/10 season, the A-Bang is what we'll talk about.

Why do you honestly need to know what skis are the best skis? Everyone will just give you different answers and that will be the end of it.

fuck yea!

but really, this is a completly subjective topic.  Some people like super flexy elizabeths or hellbents, some people like 2X4s.  There's so many other factors like sidecut, camber, width, length, even graphics that play in, we could never name one best ski.

Also: Fact, bears eat beats. bears, beats, battlestar galactica
