I'm suck between Hellbents or Opus. I can get the hellbents for 470 with bindings and I can get the opus's for 450 without bindings. So I'm wondering which one is best in the pow and more fun?
the hellbents are wider and have more rocker, but the opus' are still 118 under foot or something like that and it has early taper. How big of a difference does early taper make? And i'm only going to be using these in the pow so keep that in mind. So basically I want to know which one performs best in the powder?

If you're just using them for powder, I'd go with the hellbents as long as the bindings are decent. I have SFB's which also have the early rise. I believe its supposed to help with skiing on crud and groomers, giving a tighter turn radius and more control.

Well I haven't ride the Opus but I'm seriously consider switching my Hellbents for a pair of Opus, not that it's a bad ski cuz they aren't. But it's a lot of ski to carry around, they are heavy as fuck. You don't need them to be that wide and with that much rocker but at the same time the result is a unreal flotation i pow and you will have a great time just surfing around on them.
Pros n cons Hellbent vs Opus anyone?

I fucking love my Bents. Im a little 15 year old kid as well and I still lug them around. Theyre super fun skis. I've also heard really good about the Opus as well.
