Ski Bum Reviews Atomic Bent Chetler 2023 Unisex Ski Review
Contents
When Atomic made the decision to slim down their award winning Bent Chetler 120 they did it with one thing in mind. They wanted to create a “go anywhere, do everything ski” and they did exactly that. With a waist width of 100mm underfoot this advanced to expert level all mountain/freeride ski feels at home in bounds and out. It’s directional shape and Dura Cap sidewall command power and control while carving corduroy or slashing fresh snow. While the poplar wood core keeps things light and fun. Combine that with the HRZN Tech in the tip and tail for increased surface area and you have the recipe for a playful powder ski. These skis truly are one of the most versatile on the market. With a weight of 1700G (at 180) these skis are a perfect option for skiers who occasionally skin the backcountry in search of untracked snow or side country explorers who like to ski tree lines and their favorite resort. In Atomics words "Atomic Bent Chetler 100 is a go-everywhere, do-everything all-mountain ski. From powder to piste this is the ski of choice for any day. Every day."

Powder Rocker
Powder Rocker – 20% Tip Rocker / 70% Camber / 10% Tail Rocker
Dura Cap Sidewall
