I finally got out on my new Nordica Hell's Belles today. I'd demoed these skis last winter and had been lusting after them ever since. So I pulled the trigger a few weeks ago and today was the day to actually get them on the hill.
Let me say I was NOT disappointed. Conditions today were pretty firm with some soft, mixed up stuff here and there, but the skis didn't care. With a tip/tail/waist of 132-90-118 and underfoot camber, these skis have plenty of edge-t0-edge maneuverability in both short and long turns. They charged through everything with a stable, smooth ride that has plenty of zip. I'd love to get this ski in the moguls and in some deeper stuff, but alas, none of that around this early in the season.
Some stats: I'm 5'1", 110 lbs, and an advanced skier. The Hell's Belles are 154 cm. I've outfitted them with Atomic FFG bindings.
Needless to say, I'm very happy with my choice.
