Atomic Bent Chetler

While the Bent Chetler 100 is approachable and playful, it is designed for intermediate to advanced skiers who want to explore different terrain. Beginners might find the rocker profile and width slightly less forgiving on hard-packed groomers compared to a dedicated carving ski.

The 100mm waist is wide enough to float in soft snow but narrow enough to hold an edge on firm snow. While it isn't a dedicated race ski, the carbon reinforcement provides enough torsional stiffness to carve confidently on groomed runs.

HRZN Tech adds a horizontal rocker to the tip and tail, effectively increasing the surface area without adding significant swing weight. This helps the ski plane on top of deep powder and deflect less in choppy, variable snow conditions.

Yes, the lightweight poplar wood core makes these a viable option for backcountry setups. At 1700g per ski, they are light enough for moderate touring days, though they are primarily designed as a versatile resort-to-backcountry hybrid.

The Bent Chetler 100 excels in tight spaces thanks to its surfy, intuitive feel and rocker profile. The maneuverability allows for quick pivot turns, making them a great choice for navigating dense tree lines or technical terrain.
